A pair of Bluffton University sophomores were recently named First Team All-Heartland Conference for their outstanding play on the diamond this spring. Katie Clark (New Palestine, Ind.) and Ariana Muffo (New Athens, Ill.) led Bluffton to its seventh straight HCAC tournament appearance in 2013.
Picking up Second Team All-HCAC honors were junior Shelby Erford (Paulding) and freshman Ashley Knippen (Wapakoneta), while sophomore Brittany Baker (Springboro) was an honorable mention selection.
A free bike rodeo for area youngsters will take place from 9 to 11 a.m., at the downtown Saturday arts and crafts show, according to Rick Skillier, Bluffton police chief.
The rodeo will take place on Church Street between Main and the alley behind Citizens National Bank. The rodeo is free and open to all youth. Hope Hannah, Bluffton police officer, will be at the rodeo, assisting youth.
Sixty arts and craft vendors, 14 business booths, health fair, activities for kids, entertainment, farmers' market, food, sidewalk sales and a bike rodeo: It means that Saturday is the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce arts and crafts fair.
The 42nd annual fair takes place downtown and it is one of the largest shows in recent years.
Show hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no admission charge.
