Are you missing the joy of traveling? It isn’t as easy as it used to be. Restaurants are closed or don’t have dining in, hotels book early, sights have odd times or are closed. 

We can put the fun back into travel by doing all the work for you. The Bluffton Senior Center has some great trips planned for 2022.

The Bluffton University men's basketball team went the distance, and then some, on the way to an 89-84 victory over Manchester University on Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022. The double-overtime thriller was like Maxwell House, good to the last drop, as the Beavers snapped a nine-game skid while improving to 6-16 overall and 2-12 in the Heartland Conference. Manchester slipped to 8-15 and 7-9 in the HCAC.
