Active and healthy minds.

That’s the focus of classes offered soon by the Bluffton Senior Citizens Center, 132 N. Main St., according to Tonya Meyer, director.

The classes will take place Mondays at 9:30 a.m.

According to Meyer the classes hope to fill a little of the gap left by the absence of ILR classes at Bluffton University.

She added that many ILR participants are also members of the Bluffton Senior Center, so the center decided to launch the project.

FROM ADA ICON - Few things are as American as football, except perhaps the northwestern Ohio village that produces the pigskins used in the biggest game of the year.
 
In a real slice of Americana, a small town and its connection to the Super Bowl will be celebrated during the “Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival” on Saturday, Feb. 4.
