Will your lawn be decorated for the holidays? If so, make certain that it is marked on the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce holiday light map. The map will be posted on the chamber website so that out-of-town visitors to Bluffton know where to go to see the community's lights. Maps will also be available free at the red mailbox on the Presbyterian Church lawn and in several businesses. To place your display on this year's map e-mail your address to: [email protected] and request to be on the mail.
