Saturday offers several options for fun, food and fellowship in Bluffton. Whether its pancakes that fly, Valentine treats or ethnic cuisine, there's plenty of "let's eat out" options and more on the calendar. Here are the details:
Cupid's Cupboard and Cafe
Cupid's Cupboard and Cafe is coming to St. John's United Church of Christ from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 11.
The event includes a bake sale with Valentine treats packaged and wrapped.
Let's take a trip. The Bluffton Senior Center announces the spring and summer trip schedule for 2012 and there's plenty of room for anyone interested. Here's this year's itinery:
March 3 - "Fiddler on the Roof" at Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Van Wert.
March 10 - "Lima Beane Barbershop Harmony Show" at Lima Civic Center.
The Bluffton women's basketball team dropped their third straight road contest to Manchester College (70-50) on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012. The Beavers slipped to 8-14 overall (6-9 HCAC), while the Spartans improved to 15-7 on the season (11-4 HCAC).

Appearances at about 45 events (and counting) this academic year attest to the popularity of J. Denny Beaver, the Bluffton University mascot.
With that kind of demand, it has taken three Bluffton students to perform J. Denny's duties. Their identities were revealed at halftime of the men's basketball game on Feb. 8 during a "beheading" ceremony-the only time that college mascots traditionally remove their costume heads in public.
