Bluffton Boy Scout Troop 256 was out (again) on Saturday, March 12, for a second weekend covering the entire Village of Bluffton for the Scouting for Food program. The previous weekend, scouts left door hangers notifying residents of the food drive; this past weekend, they picked up the donated items for the Bluffton Food pantry.
Troop leader Victoria Goddard reports: "The generous folks of Bluffton donated over 900 items to the local Bluffton Food Pantry. The Scouts picked up and sorted the donated items.
St. Patrick's Day (March 17, 2022) traditions include parades, wearing green and--for some--overindulging with alcohol. The Lima-Allen County Safe Community Coalition reminds all occupants of the road to use safe driving practices. The Ohio State Highway Patrol as well as the Allen County Sheriff’s Office will have extra officers on patrol March 12 and 19. Their message: "Don’t Press Your Luck this St. Patrick’s Day!"
If you are attending a St. Patrick’s Day celebration and plan on using alcohol:
