How did you do in the Weird Bluffton scavenger hunt?
Thanks for a contest created by Bluffton resident Ron Headings, the Icon invited viewers to find the location of 17 items in which clues were provided.
Each of the items could be seen within the boundaries of:
• Riley Street on the northeast
• Riley Creek on the southeast
• Kibler Street on the southwest
• Spring Street-Campus Drive on the northwest
You can now find 80 teddy bears in the windows of the Bluffton community. It's more like a zoo, because there are several other stuffed animals, such as frogs, llamas and even a monkey or two.
CLICK HERE to view the map. You may still add your teddy bear to the map by sending your address to [email protected].
Larry Core, former Bluffton village administrator, is the 2019 Bluffton Lions Club Citizen of the Year, according to the club’s selection committee.
Core, a life-long Bluffton resident and Bluffton High School graduate, has served in several community project and organizations, both behind the scene and as a major player.
Perhaps his greatest village accomplishment was his untiring devotion to bringing DTR (today SumiRiko Ohio) to the village.
He also played an instrumental role in assisting GROB Systems to locate in Bluffton.
Krysti Schey shares these photos of students having Krysti's Music Studio music lessons, in Krysti's words, " We’re happily rolling along 'virtually' as normal!"
She adds that "just for fun we’re doing a daily 'live' from our Facebook page at 11 a.m. Mondays through Fridays."
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays is a kid's sing-along.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays is piano background music.
How do you celebrate a birthday in groups of 10 or less and with conditions where blowing out candles are verboten?
Very creatively.
That’s how the Suters celebrated wife, mother and grandmother Linda Suter’s most recent journey around the sun. The celebration took place on Sunday afternoon in the driveway of Bob and Linda’s residence at 122 Grove Street.
And, it was a party of exactly 10.
The happy birthday tune was performed in four-part harmony. On the left side are Ray and Beth Raeburn and son, Andrew.
Cece (4) and Reed (7) Bell of Lima said they were super excited about the J. Denny and Jenny coloring pages posted on the Bluffton Icon. They colored every option.
