More spring surprises

These guys are quickly fading even though it's St. P Day. Spring 2012 is a bit on the "March comes in like a lamb." Wonder how the rest of the month will fare.

Note: Kevin Wagner wrote a letter to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator, and received a reply from Mehaffie. This is a follow up letter from Mr. Wagner to the village administrator. To read Mr. Wagner's first letter in the Icon - it is posted below this letter.

Dear Mr. Mehaffie:

Chelsey Parker (left), a first-year Bluffton University student from McComb, shows a Riverdale Elementary School fourth grader how to hold the saxophone during an Instrument "Petting Zoo" at the school March 13.

Members of Bluffton's chapter of the Ohio Collegiate Music Education Association took the third annual event on the road for the first time, traveling to Riverdale to help students learn about, and try out, a variety of instruments.

And it's only March

Yellow daffodils in bloom. And its mid-March. Who cares? We'll take it. Lots of spring blooms brighten Bluffton lawns earlier than usual this year.
