Free event hosted by Bluffton Ohio Historical Society

On Saturday, October 10, at 11:55 a.m., the Bluffton Ohio Historical Society (BOHS) will reenact the moment when John Dillinger walked into Citizens National Bank on August 14, 1933 and stole $2,100. The historically accurate script is written by Fred Steiner, narrated by Kevin Gratz, and involves a dozen volunteers playing the parts of eyewitnesses to the daylight robbery. The reenactment will take place at the intersection of Main and Cherry Street, closing part of Main, Church and Cherry streets for the event.

Loud noise alert: Small Black Cat fireworks will be used during the reenactment to simulate gunfire used by Dillinger’s gang as they exited the bank.

The annual Wake the Dead ride, hosted by Joe Bayliff’s Route 30 Harley-Davidson dealership in Upper Sandusky, will bring a crowd of Harleys into town for the reenactment.
