Bluffton University will celebrate Homecoming and Alumni Weekend 2021 on Friday, Oct. 1, and Saturday, Oct. 2.
Homecoming and Alumni Weekend events will be open to all alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents and friends of the university. Along with cheering on the Beaver football and volleyball teams, the university will host alumni and affinity gatherings, campus tours, food trucks, Beaver Tail-Gating and inflatables. The 2000 Beaver football team will be honored during halftime of the football game for their HCAC championship.
At the Septemberr 27 regular meeting of the Village of Bluffton council, council members passed a first reading of ordinance no. 08-21 "to enact a no parking zone on the southeasterly size of South Lawn Avenue from West College Avenue to Grove Street in the Village of Bluffton, Ohio."
Four council members voted for the ordinance, two against. Discussion included the use of Lawn by school buses in the morning and afternoon, as well as the difficulty of plowing the street when snow accumulation is heavy due to cars parking further from the curbs.
Bluffton University senior Dalton Taynor (Troy/Miami East) has been named the Heartland Conference men's soccer Offensive Player of the Week.
Taynor netted three of Bluffton's four goals last week. He scored the only Beaver goal in a 4-1 loss at Wooster on Tuesday and followed that up with two of Bluffton's tallies in a 3-1 win at Moody Bible on Saturday in Chicago. The talented forward finished the week with six points on eight shots and is currently the Heartland Conference leader with nine goals this season.
