A Bluffton Family Recreation (BFR) membership will serve as the grand prize for Bluffton Public Library's "Make a Splash" summer fundraiser. The fundraiser will coincide with the 2010 summer reading program and conclude with the library's 75th anniversary celebration in September.

Beginning June 7, adult cardholders may "adopt" (check-out) a coin can and save spare change as a family this summer. An additional can may be adopted when a full can is returned, while supplies last.

Bicycles R Us

Posted by Fred Steiner on May 27, 2010 - 11:24am

Some families have lots of cars and a few bikes. We have lots of bikes and one car. Well, technically we have three cars but two of them have decamped for Kent and Cincinnati. In the worst of winter, we have to shuffle the bikes to make room for the car which most of the time resides in the driveway.

We (technically, just I) ride a bike year round - when possible. The other person in this house is more of a fair-weather rider. So when fair weather arrives, we begin the ceremonious "opening of bike season".
