By Paula Pyzik Scott
Here in electronic form and soon to be available in print are the September 2026 Bluffton Icon Highlights. This issue includes 20 articles from the 172 items posted on BlufftonIcon.com during the past month.
Highlights will be delivered for in-house reading at the Bluffton Public Library, Bluffton Family YMCA, Bluffton Senior Center, Musselman Library at Bluffton University and Twisted Whisk Cafe.
I'm looking for additional locations to distribute print copies and feedback on ways to grow this local resource. Drop me a line or give me a ring to discuss the possibilities: [email protected], 567-400-4266.
