On Nov. 4, volunteers from the Bluffton Cultural Affairs Committee, under the direction of Jeff Stratton hung Christmas tree lights all the way to the top on five trees in the Presbyterian Church yard.

Maple Crest Senior Living Village has received its 6th consecutive “zero deficiency” survey from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).
Maple Crest provides both independent and assisted living and is surveyed approximately every 12 months. In Ohio, the typical “Assisted Living” home is licensed as a Residential Care Facility and many people use the terms interchangeably. ODH licenses residential care facilities and conducts on-site inspections for compliance with state rules and regulations.
With the weather cooling and the holiday season quickly approaching, the Bluffton Public Library becomes a destination stop for community members looking for something to enjoy on quiet nights in or long car trips.
Got the best residential holiday lights in Bluffton?

We are teasing viewers with two photos from last Saturday's Christmas tree light decorating. Brendon Matthews took these two photos about 60 feet above Main Steet.
That's Matt Ellerbrock, Jeff Stratton and Tyler Bricker in the highlift. Watch the Icon later today more many more scenic Bluffton photos from 60 feet in the air.
Kyle Gratz says that he can see your house from where he stands. This photo may not mean much, until you examine the next photo, taken from ground level - about 60 feet below Kyle.
Gratz was among nearly 20 volunteers who strung Christmas lights on five trees in the Bluffton Presbyterian Church yard on Saturday. Matt Ellerbrock took this photo and shares it with the Icon.
We aren't certain if the volunteers allowed Kyle to come back to earth. Next time you walk by the church, check to see if he's still up there.
