Special events for early birds and night owls
By Paula Scott
Even if your family no longer has youngsters in school, it's pretty hard to miss the transition from summer to school year in Bluffton--both the Bluffton Schools and Bluffton University start classes on Monday. Fortunately, this weekend provides plenty of leisure activities to distract us from the upcoming transition.
The Pantasia Steel Band will play at a free concert at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 27 at Mennonite Memorial Home, 410 W. Elm St., Bluffton. Bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on and dress for the weather.
The Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio Service Group will serve Bluffton Dari Freeze ice cream, compliments of the Bluffton Dari Freeze.
Special thanks go to Everence, which is sponsoring the concert. MMH has hosted the annual “Concert on the Lawn” since 2005.
