Before building the nice field out at Village Park, the baseball teams for Bluffton High School played at the southeast corner of Harmon Field, near the railroad tracks. It also served for softball games. This was after Triplett Corporation used to sponsor excellent baseball teams. When they played, the diamond was in front of the stadium. I used to go to their games. They had talented players who were out of school. The games were highly competitive.

Schools permanent improvements, 1861 Wine Lounge

Two local issues are on Bluffton ballots for the May 3 election: an income tax renewal for the Bluffton Exempted Village School District and a liquor sales option in Precinct B for the 1861 Wine Lounge to be located at 115 N. Main St., Bluffton.

The Allen County Board of Elections has posted sample ballots for the May 3 election on its website; however, voter district information for Ohio House, Ohio Senate, and State Central Committee is not expected until March 28.
