Trying to decide whether to decorate your lawn for Christmas?
Any resident within the Village of Bluffton corporation limits may enter the 2011 holiday residential lighting contest sponsored by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.
Cash prizes will be offered this year, to create a greater interest in the contest.
Three prizes will be awarded:
o First place, a $200 cash prize
o Second place, a $100 cash prize
o Third place, a $50 cash prize
Men's hats for $3.95 each, slacks for $2.99 and gloves for 23 cents a pair. Only at The Charles Company, once a downtown Bluffton business.
Our best guess is that this is either opening day of The Charles Co. in Bluffton, or on a stretch, one of Bluffton's Dollar Day sales. Leland Gerber took the photo.
The Charles Co., 108-110 S. Main St., was located where Citizens National Bank lobby stand today. Above it at one time was The Iron Lantern Restaurant.
Bluffton University men's basketball team defeated Ohio Mid-Western 74-61 in the 2011-12 home opener on Wednesday, Nov. 23. The Beavers stayed perfect, upping their season mark to 3-0.
