The rain held off, for the most part, Monday night for the annual Autumn Adventure and Boo in Bluffton festivities. In the top photo, 1 1/2-year-old Olive Fiechter of Bluffton grabs some candy offered by Pam Bermudez in front of American Salvage. Also pictured are Daniel and Rachel Fiechter, the child’s parents. Below, Duke Lavanche and Kaiden Slater pf Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry Regiment, based in Bluffton, hand out candy in combat helmets outside City Hall.

Above, Bluffton Mayor John Whicker, dressed as Uncle Sam, handed out candy as trick-or-treaters passed through City Hall. Below, Abby Smith, left, takes a photo of her son, 9-year-old Kayde, with the Bluffton Fire Department’s mascot. Nearly 2,000 people passed through the City Gym for the Autumn Adventure activities.
