Meet this year’s Bluffton High School homecoming court. These students will be in the homecoming parade Friday night and will be introduced in a pre-game ceremony on the football field. The king and queen will be announced at that time.

It's amazing how much things grow over one summer. Here's a perfect example.
On the final day of the 2016-17 school year each sixth grader in Sue Epp’s science class received a small gift from their teacher.
Mrs. Epp gave each student a small sunflower seed in a Dixie cup.
The Icon’s obtained photos of three sunflower photos from class members– taken on the first day of the 2017-18 school year, and we share those with viewers.
Photos show Abbie Lemley (top), Isaiah Mikesell (center) and Gavin Kruse (bottom).

The Icon keeps an eye out for Bluffton oddities. This one is certainly in our top 10.
You'll find this cement fence post on the corner of Phillips Road and Lincoln Highway. The top of the post reads: "Sept. 1 1912." It was written in the post before the cement hardened. There's even an artistic design above the date.
The person who wrote the date on the post is unknown.
To make it more interesting, this could be the oldest existing graffiti - we are stretching the definition here - related to the entire Lincoln Highway. The highway was conceived in 1912.
