Looks like another fun weekend with plenty of activities planned in Bluffton.
Here's a capsule of events:
Friday
Bluffton Family Recreation will hold a Harlan’s chicken barbecue from 4:30 to 7 p.m., Friday, in the BFR parking lot.
The barbecue is a fundraiser for the BFR turf project for the gym and arena. Tickets are $10 each. Each meal includes one-half chicken, potato salad, green beans and a roll.
BLUFFTON, Ohio - Bluffton University has named Marissa McDaniel as its head softball coach.
McDaniel, formerly an assistant coach at Washington and Jefferson College in Pennsylvania, replaces Heather Bruder, who resigned after nine years at Bluffton.
“I am very excited to start my journey at Bluffton,” McDaniel said. “I plan to continue the winning tradition here and to prepare the student-athletes for their future after their four years of softball.”
BLUFFTON, Ohio - A solid finish to the 2014 men’s soccer campaign along with the addition of a full-time head coach for both the men’s and women’s soccer programs has given new life to soccer at Bluffton University. The Beavers took advantage of their stout defense down the stretch, allowing just 12 goals in Heartland Conference play while finishing 3-6 in the HCAC.
Who hasn't walked, jogged, biked or driven past the Bluffton University football stadium and wondered what it looks like from the 50-yard-line on the home bleacher side.
Here's that look. The Icon visited the field earlier in the week and came home with several photos, which you may view below this story.
(The final photo is an artist's rendition of the completed field. The sixth photo shows a pile of turf cut up on the sidelines.)
Emmanuel United Church of Christ will have a worship service and carry-in picnic at 10 a.m., Sunday, Aug. 16, at the village park shelter house by the high school baseball field.
Everyone is welcome. Bring a chair if you would like. Following the picnic there will be games to include all ages. There will also be a pie and cake walk.
