Calling all Ohio State Fans: the Bluffton Senior Center received a donation of an Ohio State Football puzzle in a custom-made walnut football shaped frame from Wayne Schafer.
According to Toyna Meyer, Center director, Schafer made the framed puzzle and donated it to the Senior Center to help with the Center's operating expenses.
"Wayne has made many items over the years for the Senior Center's gift shop, but the football puzzle is something special and a one of a kind item," Meyer told The Icon.
"I made one for my son, but it is in a rectangle frame," said Schafer.
