Time to "Explore Bluffton"
More people can now “Explore Bluffton.”
That’s thanks of the release this month of the newest edition of Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce’s visitors’ guide by that same name.
And for local residents, who may think they already know the town inside and out, there’s a complete listing of businesses that carry a Bluffton address. The directory offers business names, addresses and phone numbers. Chamber member businesses receive a description of their services in the guide.
This is the third volume of the free visitor’s guide since the first guide was introduced a decade ago.
With 48 pages, the full-color guide includes several helpful Bluffton bits of information in addition to its business listing. The guide also includes several photographs of Bluffton showing activities held throughout the year.
The guide has a two-page color-coded map, a two-page listing of annual events, an easy-to-use directory of important Bluffton phone numbers, plus a two-page introduction that tells about the community.
Several business advertisements are featured in the guide, which made it possible for the chamber to create the booklet and distribute it free of charge.
Copies are now available from the chamber office and in chamber member businesses. The guide is also available for distribution to groups holding events in Bluffton and by other area chambers.
Contact Paula Scott, CEO of the chamber, for details at 419-369-2985. The guide is also online at www.explorebluffton.com.
