FDR was elected president of the United States in 1932. He became the 32nd president. You are looking at the Ohio license plate for that year. The Icon spotted the plate at this year's Wheels Festival.
The word we had trouble spelling and pronouncing - "sesquicentennial" - is now history.
Before it fades from the Icon's home page, we'd like to reflect on it. Here's a thought: let's take the best from our sesquicentennial and keep the momentum going.
For example:
1 - The concept of an outdoor band concert on the Presbyterian Church lawn. Could we schedule a different band one night a week during the summer? Bring our lawn chairs; maybe have a snow cone machine. Imagine the possibilities.
This year's Maple Crest hobby show is Thursday, July 14, from 6:30-8 p.m. in the Patio Room at Maple Crest Senior Living Village in Bluffton.
The community is invited to Maple Crest, which is handicap accessible, to browse through the hobbies and collections of the residents. Some residents may be present with their displays and can answer questions specific to their hobbies, others will be marked with descriptive information cards.
Mary Ann Jordan has her photo taken in front of Bluffton's official sesquicentennial quilt. It was unveiled Friday at the town hall. It will be on permanent display in the town hall. Click for a video.
