Discovery Days 2022: August 27, September 24, October 22
The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce has announced Discovery Days (listed above) and invites chamber member businesses and organizations to join in welcoming visitors to Bluffton.
These dates are the fourth Saturday of the month in August, September and Ocober. Advertised hours will be 9:00 a.m-3:00 p.m. Chamber director Jim Enneking emphasizes that no storefront is needed. You can host an outdoor activity, pop-up shop or self-guided activity.
For the past 3 weeks, GROB Bluffton has hosted four apprentices from GROB Mindelheim as part of an annual Apprentice Exchange program.
German apprentices Lucas, Toby, Mike, and Tobi have spent time working in the Bluffton facility in their areas of specialty while also interacting with local apprentices.
Followed by free Trivia Night contest at Southgate Lanes
The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce is famous for its member breakfast meetings (September-June) but the group hasn't forgotten about members who are night owls--or simply can't attend meetings in the morning. From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 11, the chamber will host a Business After Hours networking event at Southgate Lanes, 9700 N. Dixie Hwy.
Business After Hours events are casual networking events. There is no program to keep you tied to your seat.
It was 101 degrees but that didn’t stop 65 farmers and land owners from attending our Soil Health Field Day at Burkholder Healthy Farms in Cairo, Ohio.
Our field day was in partnership with Cargill and American Farmland Trust. We discussed soil health practices such as no till, planting cover crops, carbon sequestration, water infiltration, seed treatment options and much more.
