Traditionally, the fourth Saturday in September is a time to get out and attend the Bluffton Fall Festival.

This year however, the Fall Festival has been suspended due to Coronavirus concerns.

So this means the Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio Home Service Group will not sell homemade food, or host a bake sale or auction at Mennonite Home this year.

In place of that, the Service Group will hold a Bubba C. BBQ chicken barbecue.
