There was a fierce competition to construct the tallest “paper skyscraper” Thursday at the Bluffton City Gym. The victors’ tower, shown above, measured at 10 ft. 2 in. tall. The winning team consisted of (pictured left to right) Viktor Arnold, Liam Howe, Rayne Smith, Daniel Norman and Annabelle Norman. The second place team, shown below, put up a fair fight and clocked in at 10 ft. 2 in. when the structure was supported.
