Bluffton Main Street ghosts reappear on Friday, June 15.
Those shadowy figures grew up on leaded gasoline, have 8-V engines under their hoods and ride on white-wall tires. They arrive in a variety of bright colors and don’t have FM radios.
Some have strange names like: Plymouth, Studebaker, Mercury, Edsel, VW Bug, Woody, Oldsmobile, Desoto and Packard.
Over 200 of them return to Bluffton for the 51st Bluffton Festival of Wheels cruise-in, sponsored by the Bluffton Lions.
A group of graduating Bluffton High School seniors have planned and are leading a Baccalaureate service for their classmates, parents, teachers, and the community at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, May 24, according to Rev. Jeremy Mann, pastor of Emmanuel United Church of Christ.
