"Members of the Bluffton Senior Center may have spent a lot of time snowbound this winter, but that just gave them more time to make beautiful hand crafted items for the Senior Center Store," according to Tonya Meyer, director.
She said that the Senior Center has carried American Girl doll clothes and now also have Bitty Baby doll clothes and Barbie doll cloths as well as doll clothes of all sizes.
"Bring your doll in and we will help you find something that fits," she said.

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.
