Meanwhile...Bluffton is host to a huge soccer weekend
You may find it difficult to find a parking spot in Bluffton this weekend. The arts and crafts show on Saturday downtown draws lots of people.
In addition, the Bluffton Soccer Club two-day tournaments on Bluffton University playing fields will attract a couple thousand people to Bluffton.
According to Jamie Mehaffie of the club, 38 teams are registered. Those teams are made up of U 12 and U 15 boys and girls teams.
Teams competing are from Bluffton, Ada, Van Buren, Findlay, Cory-Rawson, Celina and Liberty Benton.
Saturday's games are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday's games start at 11 a.m. and continue until all games are finished, as each team is promised from two to four games during the weekend.
All games have free admission. Games are all played at Bluffton University.
