Actually, this title should read: News in Lima. A Village of Bluffton flag (see photo) flies high above the Allen County Museum on Market Street Lima, thanks to the efforts of Richard Boehr of Bluffton.

The museum recently opened its newly expanded addition, and the flags were hoisted up the flag pole.
The Bluffton flag is red and white and has the imagine of the town hall on it.
