Ten University of Findlay students are being introduced to “the real world of business” as Dana Scholars. The select group was recently treated to a view of the small, local end of the spectrum courtesy of Bluffton businesses. Edward Jones financial advisor Ryan Demarco and his wife Alicia, Pete and Kim Suter of Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn Co. and the Shannon Theatre, and Jonah Agner and Nancy Corle-Agner of Greenhorn restaurant and The Food Store hosted the students on their premises and spoke about their career paths.

The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce encourages businesses to decorate the downtown area with a fall/scarecrow theme. Here are the guidelines:

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.

The Ada Herald has announced that it is one of eight community newspapers that has been sold by Delphos Herald Inc. to CherryRoad Media, a subsidiary of the New Jersey-based CherryRoad Technologies. 

The sale also includes the Delphos Herald, Van Wert Times Bulletin, the Putnam County Sentinel, the Paulding Progress and the Putnam County Vidette, as well as the associated printing facility.
