BLUFFTON, Ohio - The Bluffton University men’s basketball team played host to the Franklin College Grizzlies on Saturday, Jan. 23, in an HCAC contest. The Beavers came into the game looking to end their five-game slide, and managed to do so by holding off a pesky Grizzly squad by a score of 83-79. Bluffton improved to 9-8 (4-6 HCAC) while Franklin fell to 1-16 (1-9 HCAC) on the season.
Mark your calendar. Plans are underway for the 2016 Bluffton Arts and Crafts Show.
This is the 45th annual show with this year's event on Saturday, May 14, in downtown Bluffton.

In addition, the Bluffton Farmers' Market, in the Citizens National Bank parking lot, will take place on the morning of the show.

Giving Back…
The Good Samaritan Women’s Group is a local volunteer group here in Bluffton that works toward servicing those in need, not only in our community, but in our area.
The group will be adopting two resident rooms at the Good Samaritan House in Lima this month, and will welcome any donations to assist with this project.
The improvement project involves painting and supplying curtains, lamps, bedding and simple décor for two bedrooms.
