I have selected 21 articles of lasting interest from among the 146 items posted on BlufftonIcon.com during January 2026 for the print Bluffton Icon Highlights.
One of the joys of being digital is that you almost never run out of room. My rule of thumb here is to fit the table of contents on one page!
These print highlights are distributed for in-house reading at the Bluffton Public Library, Bluffton Senior Center, Maple Crest and Musselman Library at Bluffton University.
