Blufftonite Lyle Henry shares this "rather uncommon snapshot of an American Bittern within the village limits and a few blocks of downtown Bluffton on the banks of the Riley, taken a couple weeks ago."

FROM BPL UPDATES__The Bluffton Public Library is offering a Book Tasting on Thursday, October 22 at 6:00 p.m. in the lower level of the library.
If you're wondering what a book tasting is, it's when people come and taste (or sample) different books. The library will be "spicing things up" by offering samplings of four different genres of pizza made from some of Bluffton's finest pizza establishments. Come and enjoy some relaxing conversation and refreshments as you discover new books.
FROM BPL UPDATES__John Jantzen and Wendy Chappell-Dick gave themselves a challenge: to learn 50 songs to celebrate America 250.
These selections range from music popular in colonial times up to the Civil War. Included in the 50 are songs of immigrants, Native Americans and African American Slaves, as well as hymns and courting tunes, all accompanied by dulcimer, guitar and spoons.
Join Wendy for this final performance on Oct. 15 at 6:30 on the Main Floor of the Bluffton Public Library.
Suter Produce has been creating a corn maze since 1999, and I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to experience this northwest Ohio attraction. I decided to tackle the corn maze this year with my family in tow, including two very young grandchildren.
We entered the maze with excitement and were surprised to find there is a scavenger hunt as you go through. They hand you a long piece of cardboard with fill-in-the-blank clues. When you find the clue, you stamp your card.
