The Bluffton University men's soccer team battled conference heavyweight Rose-Hulman on a chilly Saturday, March 6, at Salzman Stadium. Kelly Takezo found the back of the net at the 3:50 mark and the Engineers held off Bluffton for a 1-0 victory. The Engineers stayed perfect at 2-0 overall and 2-0 in the Heartland Conference, while Bluffton fell to 0-2 and 0-2 in the HCAC with its second straight 1-0 heartbreaker.
Local residents will be out on the streets of Bluffton on 3-8-21 at 3:30 p.m. to raise awareness for the Ohio Healthcare Plan (Act) that Ohio Legislator Mike Skindell is co – sponsoring.
We will be encouraging people to “Honk for Healthcare” on International Women’s Day! Healthcare issues have become even more critical as 29 million people did not have healthcare insurance in 2019. In 2020, 30% of American workers lost their health insurance an half of them did not get it back.

You’d never know it, but once upon a time it was called the Bluffton Business Men’s Association.
The title changed over the years and today, it’s not your grandfather, dad, brother or uncle running the downtown store. It’s your grandmother, mother, sister or aunt.
The Icon recognizes International Women’s Day, today, March 8, and the leadership roles of women in Bluffton, on Main Street and in other communty leadership roles.
