Over a 12-month period there's nothing in Bluffton that quite compares to the Bluffton elementary Christmas concert.
Place all Kindergarteners through fifth graders in the east side bleachers of the high school gym. Fill the floor with seats. Open the doors about 60+ minutes prior to the concert and before you know it, it is standing room only.
How Alice Basinger handles it, we don't know. Does she get any sleep the night before?

When it's time to take a night time cruise around town, make certain you pick up a 2017 Blaze residential decorating tour map.
The maps are free and are available in the red mailbox on the Presbyterian Church lawn in front of the Ream holiday folk art display. The map is coordinated by Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.
The map is also available on the chamber website - click here.
The map shows Ream and Triplett displays, residential contest entries and locations of traditional holiday neighborhoods with displays.
