Ah, spring in Bluffton. The magnolias are in bloom. Don't you love this time of year? Here's a tree and house that you've passed many times. But, since you know Bluffton, this scene is easily recognizable. But, where is it? For the answer, click here.
Hilty Memorial Home, Pandora, an affiliate of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio (MHCO), recently completed a project involving the replacement of its walk-in cooler and freezer.
The new $35,000 unit was custom made for Hilty Home by US Cooler, Quincy, Ill. The new unit features a sloped roof versus a flat roof that the prior unit had. This will enable the water to flow off the top as opposed to standing, thus increasing the life of the unit.
