Just in time for Halloween, Where Bluffton’s Ghosts Sleep, the latest book by author--and Icon founder--Fred Steiner, will be available at a book signing from 10 :00-11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 23, at the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center, 132 N. Main St.
Subtitled “Unexpected stories from a small Ohio town,” the 196-page book includes what Steiner says is “every unexpected and cryptic Bluffton epic ever imagined.”
There are ten stops on the Bluffton Fall Festival online map, provided HERE. Most events take place between 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. but you'll also find early birds at the Bluffton Farmers Market and Bluffton Cars & Coffee events, as well a night owls at Greehorn's live music with Phil Gratz and Nacy Corle-Agner.

Homecoming season is a cherished tradition bringing together high school students, families and alumni to celebrate school spirit and unity. The Lima/Allen County Safe Community Coalition reminds citizens that while these festivities are eagerly anticipated, they also come with concerns about driving safety, particularly in the context of post-game and dance celebrations and gatherings, much of it being done by youthful drivers.
The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce encourages businesses to decorate the downtown area with a fall/scarecrow theme. Here are the guidelines:
These decorations would either be attached to the lamp posts along Main Street or storefront window decorations, but the overall requirement is that they be three-dimensional.
In September students go back to school and Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) members go back to monthly meetings. That means leaving the house a little earlier than usual to make it to a 7:00 a.m. breakfast meeting, but the coffee is hot and the breakfast is ready made.
For this BACC member meeting, Citizens National Bank was the sponsor and Kira’s Flipside Grill was the breakfast provider, featuring items from the restaurant’s new brunch menu.
