Tuesday paintINN and Thursday holiday wine tasting

Two special evening events this week at The Inn at ONU remain open for RSVPs, according to The Inn team.

Tuesday night PaintINN
A PaintINN provides artists an opportunity to create either  a snowman porch sitter or a cardinal winter scene on wood. You chose which project to create.

The Tuesday, Dec. 8, event begins at 6 p.m. and includes supplies, artistic instruction, a glass of wine, non-alcoholic beverages and buffet plus dessert.

The Icon continues its nightly holiday window shopping walk down Main Street. We stopped at Diller Flooring and Interiors, 119 N. Main St. In this view you can see the tree in the Diller store window with a mirror image of Main Street lights and the Ream display lights in the church yard.

Bluffton is among stops in Cambridge, Zanesville, Gallipolis, Hamilton, Middletown, Troy, Columbus, Hebron, Delaware, Marion, Upper Sandusky and Fremont.

Bluffton’s Blaze of Lights is one of 16 stops on the 2020 Ohio driveable holiday lights trail promoted by TourismOhio, according to Paula Scott, Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce CEO.

"We have very prominent placement and a direct link to the chamber web page in the lights trail promotion," she added.
