A little known, but great benefit of Bluffton is the community garden. The Icon talked with Victoria Zeits of the Gardeners of the Bluffton/Pandora Area about the garden, just in time for viewers to consider renting a plot or two.
Icon: Where is the garden?
Zeits: 9900 block of South Main Street. A new sign has just been installed under the "Welcome to Bluffton" sign.
Bill Suter, Et Cetera Shop board member, explains how the former glove factory will transform into Et Cetera Shop. An open house of the future home of Et Cetera was Friday. Click here for many more photos.
Et Cetera Shop threw a party on Friday afternoon. The invitation provided two words: Glove Factory.
That invite drew several hundred visitors to that large brick structure in the 300 block of Bluffton's North Main Street.
Attending were Et Cetera board members, volunteers, some former glove factory employees plus some area residents who simply wanted to take a look inside.
Here's eight views of the open house, showing upstairs and downstairs rooms. A renovation begins soon. Watch the Icon as renovations and evenutal relocation of Et Cetera take place.
