Remember the first time you went down the slide at the pool? Swimmers in the beginnings class had a fun day on Thursday during swim lessons. They advance to the point where they could go down the swimming pool slide. Most opted for the chance and most opted for a life guard to go with them. Watch the video for some first-time experiences.

Gallery 323 provides local artists in several media an outlet to display and sell their work.

A major renovation of the Bluffton Arby’s restaurant is complete, according to Lisa Brown, store manager.
The Atlanta-based company calls the new look “The Inspire image.” Renovation began in late April at the Bluffton store, located at 505 State Route 103. It was completed on June 28.
Brown said that Bluffton’s first renovation step was an outside new look. A few weeks later the inside was closed for nearly one month as renovations continued there. The restaurant never closed, however, as the drive-through remained open.
