Seven eye-witnesses of the 1933 John Dillinger robbery of Citizens National Bank, Bluffton, will be portrayed by family members during the Saturday, Aug. 12, retelling of the robbery in downtown Bluffton.

The August 1 Bluffton-Pandora celebration of National Night Out (NNO) had an excellent turnout for an evening of free summer fun.

The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce coordinated fireworks and their funding by member donors.
