Sorry about that. We didn't mean to mess up your day. You know, no Icon on the internet Tuesday morning.
Fact is we are making some changes - for the better - and like that interstate in Los Angeles, felt it was easier to take the Icon off line while improvements were made.
We took The Icon off line on Monday evening, hoping to be live first thing Tuesday morning. You know how that works. It was more like noon on Tuesday and you probably still see some glitches.
Never fear. These will go away and we will soon share with you several new pieces in the works.
Instead of Bluffton Child Development Center students going to the farm, the farm came to them last week. Members of the Bluffton 4-H Cattle Club visited the Center and shared some of their animals with the children, according to Mary Painter, Center director.
"Our kids had so many questions to ask and the members of the club were very willing to answer them," said Painter. "It was truly an on-hands experience that some children may never have access to."
Katie Nelson and Scott Troyer's summer tour will include a Bluffton concert at 7 p.m., Saturday Aug. 6, in the third floor of the Bluffton town hall.
Donations are accepted at the door.
According to Wendy Chappell-Dick of the Bluffton Cultural Affairs Committee, "Katie Nelson and Scott Troyer claim the road as their home. Touring throughout the U.S. they play for audiences at a variety of venues like conferences, pubs, schools, churches, caf'es, prisons, theaters and homes."
