Bridge Bereavement Services is offering a Creative Expressions Grief Support Group on Thursday, October 16 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. in the second floor conference room at Bluffton Hospital, 139 Garau Street, Bluffton. This program will offer participants the opportunity to turn their loved one’s clothing into an ornament keepsake.

BLUFFTON, Ohio—Bluffton University students travel to destinations worldwide each year for transformative cross-cultural experiences.

And the ones that are closest to home are as impactful as those elsewhere around the globe.

Rawson family is being assisted by the American Red Cross of Hancock County following a fire at their home on Township Road 25 on Tuesday. 

Red Cross volunteer disaster responders provided assistance to the family for food, comfort kits containing personal hygiene items, stuffed animals for the family’s children and other immediate needs.  

Back in the old days when “shag cuts” for women were the rage, Sue Fett decided it was time to go into business for herself – cutting hair.

The old days, in this case, mean 1974. Fett opened what is now a Bluffton salon institution called “Curling Iron.” Its first location was on North Main where pizza is now created at East of Chicago Pizza.

Fett moved the shop to its current location at 129 N. Main St., in 1979, when she and her husband, Bob, purchased the building. Deb Wentz joined the shop in 1988 and in 2002 purchased it from Fett.
