Blaze and other holiday events getting closer
“You can’t stop Christmas from coming.”
That’s this year’s appropriate theme for Bluffton covid-19 readjusted Blaze of Lights. You can thank the Grinch for the theme and you can watch for more pre-season holiday events in the plans from the chamber.
Nov. 6-7 – Bluffton downtown holiday open house. In addition, The Dough Hook and Shirley’s will hold customer appreciation days on Nov. 7.
Nov. 7 – Set up for the Ream folk art holiday display on the Presbyterian Church lawn. Lights and display will go up. Call 419-358-2066 to volunteer to help in the set up. A rain date is Nov. 14.
Nov. 14 – Bluffton fire department will hang holiday garlands on Main Street with a rain date of Nov. 21.
More on the Blaze
This is the third year that Bluffton’s Blaze will be listed in the Ohio “Holiday Lights Trail.”
Watch for the chamber’s residential lights map and competition.
