CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE MEMORIAL DAY PARADE.

Persons attending Bluffton's Memorial Day service at Maple Grove Cemetery couldn't help but miss Bluffton's tallest-ever flying American flag.

Here's a close-up view. Check the photo below for the long view to better understand the height of this red, white and blue symbol.

How did it get there?

Bluffton resident Navy Reservist Nathan Ulrey of Arbor Elite LCC Trimming Service was the  mastermind behind the flag display.

Ever seen a six-seater?

Grandma's day care (Brenda Byers manager and Tim Byers recreation coordinator), which takes care of eight little, or not so little, grandkids has added this unique vehicle.

The six-seater stroller is 128 pounds of metal and canvas and, according to Landon, Emily and Molly Byers and Conner Clum and Ellery Byers it is a great ride!

Three more grandkids join the day care once school is out so Dalton, Blake and Levi Clum will be on hand daily from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to do the pushing to town from Tom Fett Road.

Things don’t always go the way you wish.
The Icon took a vacation in late April and we missed the Bluffton Lions Club Citizen of the Year presentation.

Here’s our belated note of appreciation to Dennis Morrision, recipient of the club’s 2014 citizen of the year award.

Morrison's involvement in the community touches countless organizations.

Yes, that was  two minutes of hail falling this morning in Bluffton, on April 22. 

If you don't believe us, watch the video below. The Icon captured nearly 2 minutes of it.

Our problem: which view do we like the best?

There ought to be an award for the most attractive spring scene in Bluffton. If such an award existed, the Icon votes for this scene.

Our problem is that we can't decide which view we like better. The location is the back yards of the Burokers and the Dillers on South Main Street.

The Dillers have a gorgeous magnolia tree. The Burokers have a white blooming cherry and yellow forsythia bush. The combination is out of this world.
