Saturday event at village park first of two summer activities planned

Two fun events for all area girls are set with the Bluffton Girl Scouts – one takes place Saturday, and the second in early June.

From 1 to 4 p.m., Saturday, at the Bluffton village park girls will complete science experiments with women mentors from science technology, engineering and mathematics careers.

“Come prepared to get your feet wet and play in the creek,” said Kelly Honse, one of the girl scout leaders.

Then, from Sunday to Wednesday, June 6-9, from 4 to 8 p.m. daily is a nature skills girl scout mini-camp for girls of all ages.

Due to gas line work on Washington Street near Et Cetera Shop, the street will be closed on Friday, May 21.

Because of that, Et Cetera will not be accepting donations on Friday, according to Chrissy Lugibihl, manager.

 

Routes range from a 10-mile Fun Loop to a 63-mile Main Loop. Ride all of the loops for a total of 110 miles. Proceeds benefit Bluffton Pathways Project 

The seventh annual Ride to Remember returns after a one-year in-person absence on Saturday, July 10. The ride is sponored by the Bluffton Lions Club Foundation.

The planning committee made the decision that this event can be safely held with certain COVID-19 precautions. And for riders who are still cautious about a group event, an on-your-own virtual event, similar to last year, will also be an option.
