It's possible that Saturday's boys' basketball game between undefeated Bluffton and Ottawa-Glandorf was the first-ever boys' game sell-out in the BHS gym. While the Titans pulled it out in the waning minutes, BHS is on track for one of its best records in decades. At least one previous sell-out was during the 1996-97 girls' season when BHS defeated Allen East.

Rug artist Herb Grismore

He's the 2019 Senior Center volunteer of the year
Posted by Fred Steiner on January 5, 2020 - 3:37pm

Herb Grismore probably lost track of the number of rag rugs he’s created over the years at Bluffton Senior Citizens Center.

During the December center’s dinner meeting Herb was recognized as the volunteer of the year of the senior association for his contributions.

Chosen by the senior center board of directors, the award goes to a volunteer who has shown dedication to the center. Visitors and shoppers at the center can’t miss Herb, as he sits near the north wall working his artist talents on the rug loom.
