Jim Boedicker strums out some "Tenderly" strains during Saturday's Bluffton Farmers' Market. The market is attracting over 20 vendors each Saturday, making it one of the largest small town markets in northwestern Ohio.
No matter. You may have it both ways if necessary because it is officially in season. Those familiar red barn markets are open for business and that means Suter’s Produce of Pandora is up to their ears in it.
Jerry Suter told the Icon that “we are now picking sweet corn and it is excellent.” He added that other items available in the red barn markets are tomatoes, peaches, green beans and an assortment of garden veggies.
Teachers can now take Bluffton University’s five online graduate-level courses that lead to an Ohio reading endorsement, offered for the price of four.
Over the next three years, Bluffton is offering the final three-credit-hour course for free to 30 teachers—10 per year—of kindergarten through 12th grade. Funding will be from an Ohio Educator Preparation Program Performance Grant awarded to the university this spring.
BFR Sports & Fitness will host a vendor fair as part of the Bluffton Fall Festival on Saturday, September 27 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Home businesses and craft vendors will be included. Since only one consultant from a franchise will be accepted, it is important for vendors to register early. There is no restriction on craft vendors.
