From BlufftonIcon.com: Snowy weather blankets 2025 Blaze of Lights
By Paula Pyzik Scott
Some three inches of snow blanketed the 2025 Blaze of Lights. This was the 39th year for the Bluffton event, with parade coordinator Junior Weihrauch estimating that the last Blaze to have weather of this kind was in the early 2000s. While road conditions, temperatures and wind on November 29 impacted attendance and some planned features, the steady snowfall gave Main St. a playground atmosphere. Attendees brought warm smiles and warmer clothing to the event.
