Bluffton's downtown Christmas garlands will be installed by the Bluffton Fire Department on Saturday, Nov. 11, starting at 8 a.m., according to Paula Scott, of the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.
"If your business participates in the garland program, Fire Chief Jon Kinn asks that you place the garlands outside your location the night before. They need to be ready to go," she said.
