Want to attend a Toleo Walleye's hockey game and at the same time support Bluffton's Relay for Life? That game will be played at 7 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 11, in Toledo.
"A portion of each ticket benefits the American Cancer Society. Choose a local team to support and those proceeds may help them meet their 2012 team fundraising goal," Adam Blevins of the American Cancer Society told The Icon.
This year's Bluffton Relay is June 22-23 at Salzman Stadium, Bluffton University.
"It's been fun," says Harry and Dorothy Ream, "but it's time to go. See you next year." The Ream holiday folk art display is coming down and return next November.
