Join volunteer crew for 2024 Ream Display-Blaze of Lights setup
Beginning at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, November 23
By Paula Pyzik Scott
The Bluffton Cultural Affairs Committee is coordinating volunteer assistance to set up the 50+ Blaze of Lights cutouts that decorate the Bluffton Presbyterian Church yard at Main and Cherry streets.
Set up is scheduled to begin at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday. How long it takes depends on how many folks volunteer, according to committee member Jeff Stratton: "If we have 50 people show up, we'd be done in a couple hours." Any time donated, whether 1-2 hours or less, will benefit the Blaze of Lights.
All work is on the ground level. Children are welcome to help with ages 10-12 being the minimum age. Stratton adds, "If you are part of a student group, church or other organization, please spread the word." ◾️
