It all ends Saturday. Bluffton's celebration of its 150th anniversary as an incorporated village concludes with a day full of activities.
Here's Saturday's schedule:
o 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. - Pork barbecue lunch, Presbyterian Church lawn. Side dishes are cheesy potatoes, green beans and a roll. Tickets are $7 and may be purchased on Saturday. Carry out or eat in.
o Noon - Sesquicentennial parade line up, East College near Railroad Street
o Noon - Bluffton High School class of 1946 65th reunion
Dan Groman provides the following information on the old-time baseball game scheduled at the village park (across the interstate). The game is at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Here are the team players for the Shannon Sodbusters and the Wyandotte Ghostriders. (Apparently nicknames are required.)
Here's a switch. June's normal rainfall in the Bluffton-Pandora area is 4.16 inches. In June 2011, it rained only 2.24 inches. Maybe the rain in the spring made up for June.
Guy Verhoff provides the monthly June weather summery. It is in an attachment at the bottom of this story.
The June 2011 average daily temperature was 72 degrees. The normal June average is 69.3 degrees.
June's high temperature reading was 96 on June 4, 7 and 8. The minimum June temperature was 53 on June 15.
This sign was spotted in Roger and Sandy Hoffman front yard on Geiger Street for Bluffton's sesquicentennial celebration, which began over the June 24 weekend.
The sign even has some history as Roger mentioned that this sign was originally purchased from Fultz's Sign Co. back in 1986 for Bluffton's 125th Birthday.
