There's a good story with this photo for antique tractor lovers

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 7, 2016 - 3:31pm

The Icon took this photo at this year's antique tractor show at Maple Crest on Sept. 24.

Not being an antique tractor aficionado, quite honestly, we didn't know one tractor from the next.

Until T.R. Steiner asked for a copy of the photo. Here's his comment:

"That particular tractor is very rare with less than 200 made.  It was specifically designed for eatable bean production and only sold new in Michigan.

Spelling your name couldn't be easier

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 6, 2016 - 8:44am

You may never try spelling your name again - especially if it is long.

Here's a "Spell Your NAme" and do the workout from Bluffton Family Recreation.

You simply follow the instructions by your letter and pretty soon, your workout is in process.

Let's see how it works: Icon

I = 60-second plank
C = 20 crunches
O = 20 lunges
N =10 pushups

Don't let us hold you back. Just start spelling.

A Gregg Luginbuhl coffee mug sits at my keyboard as I write this. Perhaps you hold one as you read this.

Gregg was artist laureate of Bluffton. The title passed to him from his father, Darvin. Before Darvin, it belonged to John Klassen. Gregg also belongs in the same class with other former Bluffton artists Richard Minck and Paul Soldner.
