Arrrggggg! A Pirate parade to remember!

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 30, 2014 - 5:33pm

Want to see some Pirates on parade?

Bluffton High School's homecoming parade - we call it the best small-town homecoming parade in northwestern Ohio - lived up to its expectations on Friday.

It had all the elements of a parade - from the American Legion honor guard, to the homecoming court, lots of school organizations on floats, and candy to rival Halloween.

The Icon offers a video and photo album for one last look at this year's parade.

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 30, 2014 - 8:36am

By Torie Wright, Icon intern
My favorite time of year is now. Fall’s weather is perfect and we also celebrate my favorite holiday: Halloween. We’re about a month away from seeing costumed kiddos roaming the streets, but it’s just the right time for getting into spooky movies.

I challenge you this: starting now, watch one horror movie per week. On October 31, report back to us at the Icon with your list of movies watched and tell us which one was your absolute favorite!
