Bluffton Elementary School will hold its annual book fair this week, according to Melissa Knauss, Elementary PTO president.
Daily hours will be 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Friday.
Family night is Tuesday, Oct. 29, from 6-8 p.m.
"If individuals have children or grandchildren, it's a wonderful time to start their Christmas shopping. What better gift to give than the power of reading," Knauss told The Icon.
Preparations for 2014 are underway by the Bluffton council.
On Monday several ordinances will be considered that relate to next year.
• One is a pay ordinance.
• Another is an amended version of a previously passed sidewalk ordinance. The amended version changes the dates originally required for residents on the east side of the village to have sidewalks installed.
• A third is an ordinance establishing regulations for mowing and maintenance of properties.
