Auston Chase Apartment Homes

You will have an enjoyable Saturday if you live in an apartment in Ridgeland, SC. On Saturday, May 12th from 12-4pm you can head on over to the 34th annual Bluffton Village Festival.

There is nothing like local art, and if you are looking for new decorations or wall hangings for your apartment home, there will be over 170 arts and crafts vendors at the festival. With great food and an ugly dog contest, the Bluffton Village Festival, also called Mayfest is a must go.

The festival is a day of fun and culture for Bluffton, Hilton Head and  Ridgeland. As we all know, Lowcountry food itself is reason enough to live here, but southern, local arts and crafts is too

Who is the ugliest of them all?

Cosmo, a bulldog, just happens to be the ugliest in Bluffton!

Don’t think of the Ugliest Dog Contest as an insult to dogs; these pooches are so ugly, they’re almost beautiful! The winning dogs got handmade pottery trophies made by local potter Jacob Preston.

The Bluffton Village Festival had more than controversial contests; they had over 150 vendors selling handmade jewelry, art, décor, delicious food, and more! Surrounded by palm trees, this festival was like a marketplace in paradise!
The After-Hours Party featured the Travis Powell Band.

The 33rd Annual Bluffton Festival, taken over by the Bluffton Rotary Club in 2009, raises money for local charities. As of this year, they are halfway to their $1 million goal!
