Retiring Bluffton Mayor Fred Rodabaugh is being honored this Arbor Day by the Bluffton Tree Commission.

The Bluffton Tree Commission will hold an Arbor Day tree planting at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 30, in the rear of the town hall property.

The commission will plant a flowering cherry tree, selected for the occasion by the mayor. The program is open to the public.

Recognizing an individual with a special tree is one of the ways the Bluffton Tree Commission has commemorated Arbor Day in recent years.

Teens hungry for fun - or just brains - are invited to participate in two zombie programs at Bluffton Public Library this May. First on Thursday, May 12 at 4 p.m., teens are encouraged to come dressed as the undead to discuss the book Zombies vs. Unicorns and play a bone-crunching round of Zombie Feud.
