Letter to Icon viewers:

The Icon wishes all viewers a happy and long Fourth of July weekend. Our own celebration begins a little early, as we will take a few days off between now and the first of the week. Don’t worry, stories will continue to appear, only on a slower schedule. And, some regular features take the week off.

In the meantime, please consider yourself invited as our special guests to a free and open-to-the-public Icon summer party.

Here’s the details:
What: A Bluffton Icon Summer Party
Who is invited: It's free and open to the public
When: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Thursday, July 8
Where: Greenhorn Restaurant, 112 Vine St., Bluffton

On the menu, a large selection of…
• heavy hor d’oeuvres
• passed appetizers
• wood-fired pizza
• water, hibiscus tea, mint tea and lemonade

• Your chance to meet the Icon team.

• Copies of "Bluffton Anthology: A creek runs through it" will be available at a discounted price, while copies last.

• Jonah Agner and his Greenhorn staff promise the menu will be something not to miss.

• The Icon staff hopes to see you there.
