Where’s the town hall? Where’s the swimming pool? Where’s the library?
Help in answering these questions is on the way, thanks to the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.
This fall the chamber will create the first two of several large mounted full-color maps of Bluffton.
Each mounted map is three feet wide by two feet tall. The maps will be mounted on easy-to-read stands to be placed throughout the village. In addition, maps will be available for businesses to post inside their stores.
Looks like another fun weekend with plenty of activities planned in Bluffton.
