COACH TRIPS WITH TONYA
Winter in Yellowstone | January 19-25, 2026
The tour company says we can still take reservations until November 10. Explore the sparkle of our Nation's First National Park. The wonders of Yellowstone have never felt so close. Under feet of snow, the roads remain off-limits to private vehicles, allowing for a uniquely intimate experience with nature from the warmth of your heated snow coach. The animals of Yellowstone are much easier to see in the winter. The average temperature in January is 24 degrees. But the coaches are nice and warm. Price starts at $3,897. Brochures available in the office. Cost includes airfare, 12 meals and all gratuities. This trip is a level 2.
The Bluffton Public library has announced two scheduling updates:
HUMMIN' AND STRUMMIN' SONG CIRCLE
November-February the library jam session will begin at 5:00 p.m. Bring your acoustic instrument, voice, or listening ears to a friendly, laid-back, song-circle style gathering. Arrive when you can, pull up a chair and join in when you are able! All ages welcome!
