All Bluffton Icon News

MOMS at Ebenezer Mennonite Church, 8590 Columbus Grove Rd Bluffton, is hosting a Mom2mom sale on Saturday, April 23 from 9:00 a.m. to noon.

The event includes a bake sale with 100% of proceeds going to the family of Officer Dominic Francis.

Admission is free. The event is located in the gym.

The Icon's editor likes to keep an eye out for "Big Red" on drives between the Ada Icon beat and the Bluffton Icon beat. This week a setting sun treated her to this equine outline.

9:30 a.m. at former LiCo parking lot

Bluffton Clean Up volunteers will be meeting at 9:30 a.m. on April 23 at the old KFC/LiCo parking lot, 415 OH-103, to clean the State Route103 area.

Note the following if you are interested in participating:

  • Please wear bright clothing so you will be visible to traffic.
  • Children are welcome under the supervision of an accompanying adult.
  • Please bring your own gloves.
  • Trash bags will be provided. 

UPDATE: The mobile health clinic will be at Bluffton Public Library on Friday, April 29.

Have you ever driven past the Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main, and wondered why there is occasionally a big ONU bus parked outside? From 9:00-11:00 a.m. on the last Friday of the month, the Ohio Northern University Healthwise program provides a mobile health clinic with free health screenings.

The Icon stopped by to chat with the providers and to take a look inside the vehicle. We began with a cheeky question:

Columbus Grove High School has formed a winter guard team and competed in the Ohio Indoor Performance Association (OIPA) circut for the first time. Winter guard is an indoor competitive activity with routines combining dance, spinning flags, sabres and rifles.

The Columbus Grove High School Winterguard is under the direction of Justina Fuqua-Black and assistant director Maddy Ditto.
