Icon viewer Dick Jordan pointed out an interesting "it's a small world" connection in the current issue of the Michigan Travel Ideas" official state travel guide.
One page in the guide refers to the Grand Haven area of western Michigan. Jim and Pat King of Bluffton are quoted in that section. Their part in the guide follows: "Jim and Pat King of Bluffton, Ohio, are looking at the paintings, too. Pat says they return to this area every year, this time with their grown kids. "We're in love with the lake - we always have to have something to remember it by."
Eighteen Rhythm In Motion Dance Centre students performed during a Cleveland Cavs NBA basketball game in February.
The piece the dancers performed titled "Girls" was choreographed by Bluffton's Jocelyn Sherman and directed by RIMDC owner Darcey Schneider.
"Their number is an explosive choreographed piece that features dancers ages 6-17 from the Lima, Ada, Upper Scioto Valley and Bluffton area schools," said Schneider. "The dancers once again dazzled the crowd in their unique, sequin and sparkle costumes that complimented their professional and clean routine."

These guys are quickly fading even though it's St. P Day. Spring 2012 is a bit on the "March comes in like a lamb." Wonder how the rest of the month will fare.
