On the last day of school of 2016 lots of exciting events took place in the Bluffton elementary school.

One was a Christmas party in Kindergarten with parents,  grandparents and great-grandparents invited. It wasn't just any old party. It was a gingerbread house decorating event plus the performance of a winter skit that the students had memorized.

There was nothing...nothing like going to Lima and shopping downtown for
Christmas in the 1950s.

The Icon offers this Christmas story, repeated from last Christmas.

In the eighth year in the reign of Obama, legislation passed that all U.S. citizens be counted in the county where their ancestors had settled. This unusual census was when Kasich was governor of Ohio and Jordan was fourth district representative.
