Bluffton Icon:

On Friday afternoon, June 14th 2013 the Bluffton Lions Club put on the 46th Festival of Wheels and Cruise-in. We strive to make it a better show each year.

It takes a lot of volunteers to make it a success. The weather has a lot to do with it, but the volunteers are the main factor. The Bluffton Lions are very grateful to all the following people who helped with our car show. Some are not members of the Bluffton Lions, but help because they are also interested in cars and to support the community. We thank you all and are very grateful for your participation.

We also want to thank all the sponsors that support us year after year. They help us with the expenses of advertising the Festival, and it also gives Bluffton and area businesses name recognition.

They are as follows
