It was all a figment of our imagination

Turns out that Sal Walker and his band April Shortcake, currently rising in the country music charts, will not perform this summer in Bluffton – or for that matter, will never perform here. 

Sad to say, but the Derek Dukes story (click here to read it) about helping a stranded group of musicians on exit 140 was simply a figment of our imagination that occurred hours before the clock passed midnight from March 31 to April 1. 

Take a tip from the Icons and Ohio News Media Assn.

Deadline to enter is 5 p.m. Friday

First place prize is a $15 value Pizza from Padrone's Pizza!

And now for something completely different: Weird Bluffton Scavenger Hunt.

Bluffton may be small, but we’re generous, collaborative, and hard-working. We’re also weird, and proud of it. And, we have Ron Headings to thank for creating a distraction that you might find worthwhile.

(We've even provided a hint at the bottom of this story)

The Icon writer had a hankering for cookies and decided to see how many disciplines baking them involves. The following column demonstrates the result, wondering how public school students might use this exercise at home.

Disciplines used
Reading, writing, mathematics, geography, music appreciation, home economics, chemistry, art, critical thinking, foreign language, physical education and study hall. Perhaps there are others we’ve not considered.
