For practical reasons, a Bluffton restaurant is changing its name: the place known as Luke's since 2005 will be rebranded as Kira's Flipside Grill. The ownership transition is official, but it will take a while to implement on the restaurant's website, social media, menus and signs.
Owner Kira Kohli explains that the name and logo are all that will really change.
Ohio.org's Ice Cream Trail now features a hometown favorite, the Bluffton Dari Freeze.
The map is part of "Ohio. Find it here" promotions. There are 20 ice cream shops listed. The Dari Freeze description reads:
"Bluffton The Dari Freeze has been a small town staple in the village of Bluffton for nearly 70 years. This small corner shop serves up big flavor. Create your own milkshake, order a classic twist cone with Krunch topping, or choose from one of their dairy free options to beat the summer heat. Pair your treat with a bite to eat!"

At the June meeting of the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce, Village Administrator Jesse Blackburn provided a concise and informative State of the Village presentation. He gave chamber members a snapshot of upcoming and recent developments.
POPULATION
Blackburn began with population data from the 2020 Census, showing a decrease of 158 people:
2010 Census population: 4,125
2020 Census population: 3,967
Housing data shows that this decrease took place while 61 residential units were added to the village.
Last Saturday, June 4, was high time for a Bluffton Arts & Craft Show. After two gap years, the event returned in a new location and with a new host: Blended Roots at 246 Cherry St. and the neighboring grassy area along Little Riley Creek.
