What's Thanksgiving weekend in Bluffton without a parade and Christmas lights?
Over 100 units including The Grinch, lots of Shriner clowns, Allen County Sheriff Posse, and many floats from Bluffton organizations.
With the Citizens National Bank time and temperature reading 44 degrees, Bluffton celebrated its rite of the holidays with the Blaze of Lights on Nov. 28.
All week the Icon will feature photos and videos of the Blaze.
Here's our first installment - it's 20 photos from the parade. Watch for more photos and videos on the way.
