Karen Fredritz's last Bluffton haircut will be on Saturday with the closing of her shop, Bluffton Barbers.
She and her husband, Dan, are moving to Columbus to be closer to their family.
Karen opened Bluffton Barbers in the winter of 2016 in the former Bluffton News office. She’s cut hair since 1978, starting with Don Schneck in Pandora, and after a couple trips around the world she opened her shop, Bluffton Barbers, at 103 N. Main St.
The Dough Hook, 117 N Main St., celebrates 10 years as a downtown Bluffton deli on Saturday, according to Marlena Ballinger, shop owner.
Several things take place at the store from 9 a.m. to noon. That includes:
• Take a selfie with Harry the Hereford
• Visit with store founders John and Sharon Calvelage
• Tour the shop – see some nostalgic items including the original meat rail and meat grinder
• Free samples of The Dough Hook’s products
• Door prizes for store apparel, deli items and baked goods.
