Greenhorn restaurant, 112 Vine St., will celebrate Earth Day with a set of river-themed songs from 2:30-4 p.m. on Saturday, April 23.

A $10 donation (pay what you can) is requested to support the work of the Blanchard River Watershed Partnership.

Performers will be Wendy Chappell-Dick and Phil Gratz, who have been playing music together for almost 30 years. They enjoy songs with meaningful lyrics and they also like to have fun, covering rock, country, and pop tunes from the 70s to present day.

UPDATE: The mobile health clinic will be at Bluffton Public Library on Friday, April 29.

Have you ever driven past the Bluffton Public Library, 145 S. Main, and wondered why there is occasionally a big ONU bus parked outside? From 9:00-11:00 a.m. on the last Friday of the month, the Ohio Northern University Healthwise program provides a mobile health clinic with free health screenings.

The Icon stopped by to chat with the providers and to take a look inside the vehicle. We began with a cheeky question:

9:30 a.m. at former LiCo parking lot

Note the following if you are interested in participating:

  • Please wear bright clothing so you will be visible to traffic.
  • Children are welcome under the supervision of an accompanying adult.
  • Please bring your own gloves.
