The Bluffton Lions Club Foundation is making a name for Bluffton this summer as it attends all types of events, sellling raffle tickets for its Corvette car raffle, according to Dick Ramseyer.
On Aug. 11, members of the club attended the Findlay Flag City BalloonFest with two booths. In this photo are Bluffton Lions Mark Alliman, Jim Bemitler, Gary Bishop and Marilyn Bishop.
This year's car is a 1991 bright red Corvette with only 54,000 miles. It has a 350 cube-inch V8 engine.

John Dailey should have his hands held high in surrender, but he calmly stands at the doorway of Southgate Lanes Bowling Alley, Dixie Highway.

According to Derek Dukes, someone created a 13- by 8-foot tank made out of Keystone cans in front of the bowling alley eariler this week as a prank.

Some towns have crop circles; in Bluffton people make tanks out of beer cases. The Icon will follow this case closely and as soon as a list of suspects is created, we hope to keep the public informed. We wonder if fingerprints were taken.
