Mark your calendar. Plans are underway for the 2016 Bluffton Arts and Crafts Show.
This is the 45th annual show with this year's event on Saturday, May 14, in downtown Bluffton. The show is held in conjunction with the Bluffton Soccer Club's tournament, held the same weekend at Bluffton University. These two events make for a busy Bluffton weekend with hundreds of out-of-town visitors spending time in Bluffton.
In addition, the Bluffton Farmers' Market, in the Citizens National Bank parking lot, will take place on the morning of the show.
Bluffton's next American Red Cross blood drive is from noon to 6 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 4, at First Mennonite Church
Blood Donors Must:
• Be in good general health and feeling well.
• Be at least 17-years-old in most states, or 16-years-old with parental consent if allowed by state law –
• Weigh at least 110 lbs.

Giving Back…
The Good Samaritan Women’s Group is a local volunteer group here in Bluffton that works toward servicing those in need, not only in our community, but in our area.
The group will be adopting two resident rooms at the Good Samaritan House in Lima this month, and will welcome any donations to assist with this project.
The improvement project involves painting and supplying curtains, lamps, bedding and simple décor for two bedrooms.
