A Gregg Luginbuhl coffee mug sits at my keyboard as I write this. Perhaps you hold one as you read this.

Gregg was artist laureate of Bluffton. The title passed to him from his father, Darvin. Before Darvin, it belonged to John Klassen. Gregg also belongs in the same class with other former Bluffton artists Richard Minck and Paul Soldner.

The weather was perfect - make that incredible.

The attendance was remarkable. The enthusiasm was just what you’d want at a small-town fall festival. And it took place in Bluffton.

There were many: home-business expo, farmers’ market, pumpkin face painting, food, quilt show, tractor show, music, historic exhibits, pony rides, horse and wagon rides. Shall we go on?

The 13th annual Bluffton Fall Festival fell on a Saturday with warm temperatures and just the right amount of sunshine.
