Bluffton's queens of 1986
The year was 1986. Our community celebrated its 125th year as "Bluffton." There were lots of celebration events. One was a parade.
Here's a photo of what we believe is a queen candidate float. We think we see several familiar faces among the candidates and the young children in the front.
We encourage Icon viewers to help ID these girls.
Does this help - this photo is 31 years old. That means the queen candidates are approaching 50. The young girls are in their mid-30s.
Dick Boehr took this color parade photo while he stood in front of Citizens National Bank.
