Bill Herr remembers: We had dairy, hogs, and 200 over Leghorn chickens. When I was a senior in high school I milked 40 head of cows before I went to school in the morning. In 1964, when we finally sold the cattle we had 37 cows.

My name is June Fields and I live near Bluffton and come into town often to shop, bank, eat or volunteer at the Et Cetera Shop, so you may have seen me out and about.

Bluffton Boy Scout troop 256 was busy and area residents were generous on Saturday. The Scouting for Food pick up was a great success as 1,673 food and supplies items were collected. Donations went to the Blufton Community Assistance Program's food pantry. Here are several photos from Saturday provided by the Boy Scouts.
