Are you tired of seeing litter on the streets, in parks, and on our roadways of Allen County? If so, it's time to stand up and take action! Sign up to be a part of the Adopt A Roadway program and help restore pride in our community.
Volunteers are needed to help keep litter from reaching our streams and wreaking havoc on our waterways and drinking water. Those who want to lend a hand are asked to clean up their adopted area two times a year. Trash bags, gloves, and safety vests are supplied.
Regular participants in the program can have a sign placed at their adopted area with their name on it. These signs credit those who work to keep the area clean and remind others not to litter. The program is open to individuals, families, business and groups who want to add their special area to the growing list of adopted roadways.
The ninth annual Bluffton Ride to Remember on Saturday, June 15 will moving down the road a short distance--Snider Rd. that is--to Bluffton Community (formerly The Centre).
Registration and parking for the cycling fundraiser will benefit from more parking space at the new location. Registration will be indoors at the 601 N. Main facility.

Blufftonites certainly have memories of getting their license plates locally. For the evening's program, we will hear an interesting story from the Gromans about their father maintaining his same plate number year after year. Those very plates will be on display. We will also hear a history of license plate distribution here in Bluffton. There was a sequence involved in this distribution madness, and an explanation of it will also be given.
