The Bluffton University volleyball team came away with a set from the Student Princes for the first time since 2004, but couldn’t quite pull it off on Wednesday, Oct. 3, as they fell to regional powerhouse Heidelberg (25-13, 17- 25, 25-19, 25-14).

Who ever drives a vehicle with this plate is certainly a Chicago Bears fan. Anyone who cares to try to explain the meaning of "RIB RIB," is encouraged to comment. The Icon spotted this plate in Ada during the Ada Harvest and Herb Fest in September.
How many Model-T Ford-era vehicles can you count. This is an aerial view of the 1961 Bluffton parade of antique vehicles. The parade took place during the centennial celebration. Leland Gerber took the photo and it appears that he took it while standing on the roof of his photo studio on South Main Street.
There are several other sites to observe in this 1961 Main Street photo. Look closely where the historical mural is today, for starters.
Next check out the sign in front of what is today Common Grounds Coffeehouse.
