For the upcoming weekend of May 4-5, I'd love to be a non-fiction Hermione Granger or at least to borrow her magical time turner that allows her to be in more than one place at once.
DELPHOS __ The Bluffton High School softball team led early but lost 15-5 to Delphos Jefferson in a Northwest Conference battle Tuesday evening, April 30.
SPENCERVILLE __ The visiting Bluffton High School softball team defeated Spencerville 13-7 in a Northwest Conference slugfest Monday evening, April 29.
This week a caller tried to persuade me that the May 5 Trout Derby in Bluffton, Ohio does not take place at Buckeye Lake.
There is a somewhat better known Buckeye Lake in Licking County, where there is a village called Buckeye Lake, a reservoir called Buckeye Lake and Buckeye Lake State Park.
The Bluffton Sportsmen’s Club will hold the 2024 Trout Derby on Sunday, May 5 at Buckeye Lake, accessible from Main St., Snyder Rd. and Spring St. The club member who catches Trout No. 1 on Derby Day between 2:00-4:00 p.m. will receive ½ of the jackpot plus $1,000. The prize is redeemable through the Sportsmen’s Club.
