On Saturday, May 7, Greenhorn was scheduled to host a party on Vine Street. The restaurant now notes, "We will still have Saturday drink specials and fun foods inside out of the weather!"

The restaurant is located at 112 Vine Street and serves "internationally inspired plant-based food that is made from scratch using seasonal, organic, and locally sourced ingredients."

The event was to coincide with Bluffton University graduation, which takes place at 10:00 a.m. at the Sommer Center.

Spoiler alert: we're going to provide you with some but not all of the May news from the Bluffton Senior Center, 132. N. Main St. Each month, director Tonya Meyer sends members a preview of what's happening at the center: 

"Sun, rain, wind, flowers, spring is in the air. We will soon have graduation parties to go to and before you know it, summer picnics. Remember, when the weather is bad or you just need a place to go to get out of your house, we are up and running with a full schedule of activities. Except on May 30 when we will be closed for Memorial Day. You will find me at the cemetery on that day."
