A bowling tournament at Southgate Lanes from 6 p.m. to midnight Friday, June 14, is a fundraiser for playground equipment at Bluffton Child Development Center.

The previous playground equipment was removed last year, after 26 years of use and repairs. The center currently does not have a proper outdoor playground.

The cost is $20 per person to bowl, but there are 60 pre-paid entries available.  All bowling levels are welcome.

This event will feature raffles, prizes and live music by South of Six.

Posted by Fred Steiner on May 16, 2019 - 9:30am

The Village of Bluffton reminds residents of the 7-inch grass rule, which is a village ordinance.

The ordinance passed in 2013 (it's attached at the bottom of this story), states that grass, weeds or brush shall be cut, mowed and maintained not to exceed 7 inches.

This ordinance covers residential, undeveloped residential, business and industrial and agriculture areas (ag areas are not to exceed 15 inches).

The ordinance states that the village may fine property owners $100 per occurrence.
