We've had to wait one week because of a school day cancellation due to snow. But, the all-elementary school Christmas concert is back on the calendar.
It is at 1:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 20, in the Bluffton High School gym. Alice Basinger, elementary music teacher, provided the Icon with the concert schedule which follows. It may also be printed from the attachment at the bottom of this story.
Bluffton's final weekend before Christmas seems as full of activities as the previous two December weekends.
Here's what's in store in Bluffton from Saturday, Dec. 18 through Monday, Dec. 20. We've also provided viewers a preview what's in store for the rest of the month.
Saturday, Dec.18, will round off the holiday music and festivities at Bluffton Public Library. Sara and Wendy Chappell-Dick will be playing a combination of flute, guitar and dulcimer from 11 a.m. to noon and Jim Boedicker will be playing holiday music on his guitar from noon to 1 p.m.
Beginning at 11 a.m., refreshments will be provided by the Bluffton Friends of the Library and will continue while supplies last.
The Bluffton Public Library was full of the Christmas spirit on Saturday, Dec. 11. Several family-oriented activities took place. To view videos of some of them check the options here:
