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 the mid-1980s, Dr. Elizabeth "Libby" Hostetler had a dream but no money to make it a reality.
A Bluffton faculty member in education, she wanted to create a resource for children to gain necessary skills for developing a vision of peace. While supportive of the idea, the then-college was unable to commit funding, leading Hostetler to the only other possible source she could think of, Lima businessman and Bluffton alumnus Herman Parent.
"Herman was the person I knew who was so generous with his time and service to others," she explained.
Saturday is a day for arts, crafts, food, ponies, music, oh, and, yes, llamas. Bluffton's 41st annual arts and crafts festival is downtown from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
