This is the 126th performance at the university, a tradition that invites community singers to join with the university chorus and orchestra.

As the newest chamber member, Blended Roots manager Katelyn Gainok introduced herself and the art and craft consignment store she manages to Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) members at the December 10 meeting.

Gainok said the store’s purpose is to provide a fun shopping experience and to “bring out creativeness in the community.”

At the December 13 Bluffton council meeting, Assistant Village Administrator Bryan Lloyd explained why some Bluffton residents noticed discolored water beginning on Friday, December 10.

Lloyd detailed that the main 16" plastic water pipe from Ottawa had been hit by a utility crew on Road M around 11 a.m. that day. Following EPA guidelines and under the agency's supervision, the break was immediately isolated with shutoff valves and a repair was made. The line was reopened after flushing. Village crews flushed at numerous other locations as well.
