"Join us onThursday, Aug. 26, at 2 p.m. for one final summer fling with all things blue and anti-school," said Rikki Steingass, youth services coordinator.
"Since no one knows more about trouble at school than Percy Jackson, what better way is there to defy the administration than to kick back with blue nachos, sip some blue lemonade and watch the gods duke it out on the big screen?
Get your free tickets for this special program at the Bluffton Public Library front desk. Families welcome!" Steingass said.
Get your horns, drums, flags and batons out and start practicing. Former Bluffton High School marching band members are invited to join the 2010-2011 Bluffton High School marching band for the pre-game show on Friday, Sept. 3.

If you love garage sales, you'd better fill up the tank. There are more garage sales in the Bluffton school district on Thursday, Friday and Saturday than there are lights on the Ream holiday folk art display.
Okay, that's a figure of speech. There are dozens of garage sales in and around Bluffton this weekend. Thanks to the Friends of the Bluffton Library and several residents along the Lincoln Highway the gigantic garage sale weekend came into being.
