An Icon viewer confirmed rumors floating around that fresh-water sharks have, in fact, entered the Riley Creek stream system.
Earlier this week, the Icon obtained this photo sent by Tricia Burkholder from her cell phone with the proof.
"I spotted this on my way home from my mom's house. As we drove across the bridge by Buckeye Lake, we spotted a shark swimming in the Riley Creek," she informed the Icon.
Several unconfirmed sightings of large creatures with fins in the Riley have, up to this point, been poo-pooed.
Onions, radishes, carrots, Asian greens, kohlrabi, pea, snow peas, sweet corn and green beans are starting to show up on Saturdays.
One of the suppliers of these fresh produce is first-year Bluffton Farmers’ Market vendor Hibner Family Farm of Wapakoneta. The farm is located in Clay Township of Auglaize County.
Vendor Doris Hibner says that she has five acres of land set aside for farm market produce sales.
Seven area churches are again partnering in the community-wide vacation Bible school program.
This year’s event will be hosted by Bluffton Presbyterian Church July 19-23 from 6-8 p.m. Children age 4 through fifth grade are welcome to attend, at no cost. Children need not be attenders of any of the seven churches.
The S.H.A.N.N.O.N. Service Club of Bluffton, in conjunction with the Village of Bluffton, the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Bluffton American Legion, says thank you to the many businesses and individuals who helped to sponsor the 2015 Main Street flag project.
The cooperation among so many people who helped this project in so many ways is truly inspiring. And the stories behind the people who are honored and memorized are heartwarming.
