Onions, radishes, carrots, Asian greens, kohlrabi, pea, snow peas, sweet corn and green beans are starting to show up on Saturdays.
One of the suppliers of these fresh produce is first-year Bluffton Farmers’ Market vendor Hibner Family Farm of Wapakoneta. The farm is located in Clay Township of Auglaize County.
Vendor Doris Hibner says that she has five acres of land set aside for farm market produce sales.
Seven area churches are again partnering in the community-wide vacation Bible school program.
This year’s event will be hosted by Bluffton Presbyterian Church July 19-23 from 6-8 p.m. Children age 4 through fifth grade are welcome to attend, at no cost. Children need not be attenders of any of the seven churches.
The S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club of Bluffton, in conjunction with the Village of Bluffton, the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Bluffton American Legion, says thank you to the many businesses and individuals who helped to sponsor the 2015 Main Street flag project.
The cooperation among so many people who helped this project in so many ways is truly inspiring. And the stories behind the people who are honored and memorized are heartwarming.
You never know what you'll see on a group bicycle ride with the CG Pro Bike crew. On last week's ride a free-roaming horse joined the party near County Road 52. Raymond Harner took this photo of the scene. With the assistance of a Hancock County Sheriff's deputy, the horse was returned to its nearby home. (Photo from CG Pro Bikes Facebook)
Maple Crest residents caught a glimpse of an artist at work recently during a tour of Gallery 323, an art gallery and shop operated by Gregg Luginbuhl on Main Street, Bluffton.
During the visit, they discovered artistic items - created for the most part by Luginbuhl - from white porcelain clay. Additional pieces, including paintings and jewelry, are for sale by other artists in Bluffton.
Gregg's artistic talent came down through the genes, in a sense, as his father, Darvin Luginbuhl, was a former art professor at Bluffton University.
