JANUARY 7 UPDATE: Garland removal delayed by snow. Watch the Icon for the rescheduled activity.
The Bluffton Fire Department will announce a new date for removing the lighted garlands and snowflakes decorating downtown Bluffton businesses and light poles.
The decorations are coordinated by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce. Fees paid by participating businesses help support the Fire Department and the chamber.
Watching the removal of one of Bluffton's towering, shade giving trees on South Main, neighbors Jeanette Reineke and Pam Weisenbarger were reminded of a poem they both knew by heart, "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer.
Captured here by Icon photographer Jamie Nygaard, they recited the poem for her.

Have you started creating a "To-do" list for 2022? The Icon recommends taking some time to make a "Done" list as well. Council member Joe Sehlhorst used his notes to compile the following recap for the Village of Bluffton:
Just a few of many accomplishments mentioned that we all can be proud of.
Thank you all for such hard work, service, and dedication for the benefit of the Village.
