RECAP: ARTS & SEAFOOD FESTIVAL
Rotarians came out strong to support the Re-Imagined Arts & Seafood Festival this past weekend. The festival had pop-up art displays on porches, lawns and on corner lots from the many galleries to highlight the artistic and cultural side of Bluffton.  Refreshments were available at one of the many pop-up eateries showcasing true Southern Hospitality. Galleries and shops in old town were open and welcomed festival attendees. Our club members manned the beer and wine sales and helped with cleaning and sterilizing surfaces during the festival. Below are some of our folks in action!
