Chrissy Lugibihl, Et Cetera Shop manager, will show some objects made from used items, much like the rag rugs made from old blue jeans at the Center.
This is a potluck meal and members are invited to bring a dish to share, plus a place setting.
Several additional events are on the Center’s March calendar. Those follow:
Vendors with non-commercial arts and crafts are invited to register for the 48th annual Bluffton Arts and Crafts Festival on Saturday, May 11. The 9 a.m.-3 p.m. street-festival style show is held on Bluffton’s charming Main Street and includes attractions for the whole family, including food, live music, and children’s activities.
Some street closing changes were modified this week involving the West Elm Street project underway by Hohenbrink Excavating.
Originally it was announced that the street would be open to thru traffic in the evening. That is not the case. West Elm Street will be completely closed in the evenings.
The Project will be broken into two phases for the street removal work:
• Phase 1 - Bentley Road to Diller Road
• Phase 2 - Diller Road to Spring Street
