Bluffton Scrap Artist Quilters detail impact of quilts for veterans
By Paula Scott
For sixteen years, Bluffton American Legion Post 382 has hosted a fun charitable golf outing with a serious purpose. The event raises funds for local nonprofits and charitable organizations, including those that support area veterans.
State Route 103/Jefferson Street between County Line Road and Commerce Lane in the village of Bluffton will have lane restrictions and shoulder work beginning Monday, Aug. 14 for approximately 120 days for construction of a shared-use path.
Comments about the project can be posted on the project webpage: PID 111220
About the project:
Construct a shared-use path along the south side of State Route 103/Jefferson Street from County Line Road to the intersection of Dave’s Way, crossing State Route 103 at the intersection, and continuing on the north side of State Route 103 to the intersection of Commerce Lane. The work includes storm improvements, a sidewalk extension, lighting, and other roadway safety improvements.

Our enrollment numbers continue to stay very consistent, which is a real tribute to our community and staff, as many schools in our region have declining enrollment.
