Once a year area residents have an opportunity to purchase art created by local artists - thanks to the Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs. This year's opportunity is Saturday, Oct. 27.
The event is the BCE's annual dinner and art auction fundraiser. Tickets are now on sale at $50 each or $300 for a table of eight persons.
BFR Sports and Fitness will offer four events, in October, geared for families.
One of those events takes place Saturday, Oct. 20. It is the kick-off date for a new pre-school program, titled Silly Saturdays.
Based on the popular, summer Adventure Camps, Silly Saturdays will offer children, ages 4 to 6 years, a theme-based camp-style program. The October date will feature a Creepy Crawler theme that will include a craft, physical activities, and snack time.
Who is that little princess standing at the front door?
