Ever seen a six-seater?

Grandma's day care (Brenda Byers manager and Tim Byers recreation coordinator), which takes care of eight little, or not so little, grandkids has added this unique vehicle.

The six-seater stroller is 128 pounds of metal and canvas and, according to Landon, Emily and Molly Byers and Conner Clum and Ellery Byers it is a great ride!

Three more grandkids join the day care once school is out so Dalton, Blake and Levi Clum will be on hand daily from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to do the pushing to town from Tom Fett Road.

Bluffton High School grad Hannah Chappell-Dick ran in the 400m, trying to hone her sprinting as she looks to qualify for the national meet in a middle distance event.  She is a junior at Eastern Mennonite University, Harrisonburg, Va. 

She ended up breaking the school record in the 400m, racing to a finish of 57.94.  It was her best time by more than second and knocked off Lorenda Abbott's record of 58.08 from 1999.
