Bluffton's Fall Festival - nothing quite like it!
It was a day to visit the past...to have lots of fun, run a 5K, stop at a Home Expo, paint a pumpkin, watch a drama, visit a quilt show, do some shopping downtown, buy a pumpkin pie at auction, and get your face painted.
LOTS OF PHOTOS AND VIDEOS AT BOTTOM OF STORY -
It was Bluffton's 10th annual Fall Festival. Events took place at Maple Crest, Mennonite Memorial Home, BFR Sports and Fitness, Bluffton Hospital, Bluffton Elementary, Bluffton Farmers' Market, First Mennonite Church and downtown Bluffton.
