A book signing featuring Peggy Erhart, author of "Through My Grandmother’s Eyes" will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, at Book ReViews, Main St., Bluffton.
Erhart's book tells the life of her grandmother beginning with her wedding in 1896. Events are viewed through the vantage points of historical events and societal norms of the eras covering the late1800s through 1947. Emphasis is placed on the family’s German Catholic heritage common throughout the area and time.

This year's event, open to the public, is from 6 to 8 p.m. in the middle school cafetorium. Doors open at 5 p.m.
A concession stand is available, which offers everything from chicken sandwiches, pretzels with cheese, and other items, including Luke's Pizza and Common Grounds coffee.
Bingo cards are 12 for $1. Winners have your choice of any donated baked goods.

Q: What do all these school mascots have in common? A: Northwest Conference. You'll find this mural on the wall of the Bluffton High School basketball gymnasium.
