Northwest Physical Therapy, with an office in Bluffton, will hold its 10th annual Poker Run 5K Run/Walk for Charity to benefit the Northwest Ohio Arctic Wolves sled hockey team. The hockey team started in August 2014.
Sled hockey is the same as stand-up ice hockey, but is for people with physical disabilities that prevent them from being able to stand and play. A sled and two short sticks with picks are used to propel the player on the ice. Sled hockey is a paralympic sport and in 2014, our USA Men’s National team took the gold in Sochi.

It's the best small-town high school homecoming parades in northwest Ohio. And, for a quirky reason it seems to attract lots of youth dresses as pirates.
Jamie Nygaard captured several views of last Friday's homecoming parade. She then took photos of the homecoming court in the pre-game ceremony at Harmon Field.
Following up on the pirate theme, Bluffton residents' door-bells will ring later this month and many of the same pirates will appear with a bag in hand asking for candy. Just you wait.
