Ohio.org's Ice Cream Trail now features a hometown favorite, the Bluffton Dari Freeze.

The map is part of "Ohio. Find it here" promotions. There are 20 ice cream shops listed. The Dari Freeze description reads:

"Bluffton The Dari Freeze has been a small town staple in the village of Bluffton for nearly 70 years. This small corner shop serves up big flavor. Create your own milkshake, order a classic twist cone with Krunch topping, or choose from one of their dairy free options to beat the summer heat. Pair your treat with a bite to eat!"

Bluffton Scrap Artist Quilters is a club for quilters at any level or ability, and welcomes anyone interested in helping create baby quilts for local foster kids and full size quilts for local veterans.

In July 2022, the club donated 40 baby quilts to Allen County Children’s Services. These quilts will be used in "love luggage” which are special backpacks filled with gender-specific toiletries, toys, cuddly, a quilt or blanket, and other little things to give to kids as they are going into foster care.
