Mennonite Memorial Home's Concert on the Lawn, featuring the Lima Area Concert Band, is rescheduled for 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug.15.
The concert was postponed in June due to a weekend of rain.
The free concert includes free ice cream, popcorn and drinks. All that's needed to attend is to bring your own lawn chair. The concert is on the MMH lawn, 410 W. Elm St., Bluffton.
This year's annual summer concert celebrates Mennonite Memorial Home's 60th anniversary. The concert will include music from the 1950s and 1960s in addition to some patriotic selections.
The second in a series of monthly concerts on the lawn at Bluffton Presbyterian will take place Saturday, Aug. 15 at 9:30 a.m.

The musicians at Bluffton Presbyterian will be on hand Saturday morning with song sheets to entice the community to participate in some good music and fellowship.
