Bluffton's traditional Memorial Day observation is Monday, May 30.
A parade and ceremony is sponsored by the Bluffton American Legion Post 382. The parade forms at 9:15 a.m. in front of the town hall and begins at 9:30 a.m. Parade units include the Bluffton High School marching band, scout and Legion members.
The parade will conclude at Maple Grove Cemetery. A service there is planned at 10 a.m. Don Klinger, a former U.S. Marine Corps Presidential Helicopter pilot, is the speaker.
The Bluffton Senior Center is having an American Girl Tea Party at 2 p.m., Thursday, June 30. The theme of this year's tea is "Pioneer Girl" in conjunction with Bluffton's sesquicentennial celebration.
The tea is designed for girls eight years old and older along with their mothers and grandmothers, but everyone is welcome. An adult must accompany children under eight.
There is time for sharing, learning and we will make a craft together. Everyone wins a prize just for coming and there is a grand prize given at the end of the tea.
