Bluffton University will host the annual Riley Creek Festival beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 14, on the Neufeld Hall lawn.

The event is free-except for lunch-and open to the public. Lunch, to be served from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., is $6 for adults and $4 for children.

"Away at Sea!" is the theme of this year's festival, a day of games and entertainment. A faculty/staff dunk tank and the annual rubber duck race down Riley Creek-with ducks costing $1 each-will raise money for First United Methodist Church of Ada, which was destroyed in a March 13 fire.

The festival will end after the 4 p.m. rubber duck race, but community members and their families are invited back to campus for a 9:30 p.m. showing of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" on the Neufeld lawn.

Events will move to Bob's Place, in Marbeck Center, and Founders Hall's Burcky Gymnasium in case of rain.
