No, you aren't in Bluffton, anymore. This is Ada. The year is 1902 and the photograph shows the major building of what was called Ohio Normal University on South Main Street Ada. This photo is from a book of Ada photos titled "Ada and the O.N.U. - The New and the Old," published in 1902. The booklet is from the collection of Bob Barnett.
Thank you so much for allowing us to attend the Bluffton Arts and Craft Show. We had a very good time and made a tad bit of money as well! We wanted to let you know that we were very impressed with the town, the people, and the atmosphere! Bluffton was clean and beautiful, the people were very friendly and kind, and the atmosphere was festive and charming. This is not our normal experience at all craft shows, so we were very plesently surprised and wanted to let you know. Thank you again for the pleasent experience!
In recognition of Police Memorial Week, the Bluffton Police Department invites the public to attend a first-of-its kind event in Bluffton.
According to Rick Skiliter, police chief, the department will hold a memorial service followed by an open house of the police department. The event, open to the public, will follow the 8 p.m. Bluffton council meeting Monday, May 14.
In case you missed all the displays at Saturday's arts and crafts show, here's a closeup of some locally designed pins at Gary and Lois Wetherill's booth.
