The presidents had their day after all. Monday, Feb. 21, was originally to be a holiday for Bluffton schools. Then, when the school system used its three cancellation days, Feb. 21 was placed back on the school calendar as a "school day."
Not so fast. At 5:56 a.m., the icy weather caused a two-hour delay. Then at 7:49 a.m., Greg Denecker, Bluffton superintendent, announced school was cancelled due to the ice.
Unless the Ohio legislature acts quickly, Bluffton's spring vacation in March will be cut short.
If you are in the mood for a great murder mystery, and would like to take in a great meal at the same time check out the March 26 event at The Centre, according to Brenda Gaines.

A drama titled "The Anniversary, 'Til Death Do Us Part already," will hit the Centre stage. Early-bird tickets purchased before March 12 are $35 each, two for $65 or a table for eight $240 ($30 each), plus tax.
