Fall programming underway with many activities planned

Group tech courses, National Video Games Day, line dancing, fall book sale, Banned Books Week...and more are on the September calendar at the Bluffton Public Library.

Here's the schedule:

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. This year, Disney Pixar’s superhero family from The Incredibles remind us that libraries are “incredible” and that getting a library card is the first step to a really “super lifestyle.” Fill your life with fun and learning so you may “pursue your passions and succeed” (ala.org).

“We had a lot of guys getting their first taste of being starters and early on it took a while to get their footing,” Richards said. Indeed, there were many first time starters including freshmen Nate Schaadt, Aaron Tabler and Trent Howard.

“All things considered, I’m happy with the win, but we got a lot of things to work on.”  These were the words from Bluffton head football coach Jeff Richards following his team’s 28-6 victory at Cory-Rawson’s Spike Berry Field to open the 2018 season. 

Bluffton scored a touchdown in each quarter on their way to the victory.  The Pirates coughed up the ball three times and Cory-Rawson turned over the pigskin four times in the second half as Bluffton cruised to the win.
