Antelopes will lope, ostriches will fan, kangaroos will do what kangaroos can, polar bears will wear top hats, leopards with spots will wear spats and hyenas will laugh as long as a long giraffe when students from Bluffton High School presents Doctor Dolittle JR. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 4, 5, 6.
The whimsical musical follows the adventures of a small-town doctor in Victorian England who uses his special gift of being able to talk with animals to learn more about the world.

The Swiss Community Historical Society (SCHS) of Bluffton and Pandora will conduct tours of the Schumacher Homestead by appointment this summer. The tours begin on Saturday, June 1.
The restored 1843 farmhouse, outbuildings, bank barn, kitchen garden, and grounds are located at 8350 Bixel Road, Bluffton.
"After a year of video tours on YouTube, we're excited to be hosting visitors at the homestead once again," said SCHS president Gary Wetherill.
"Appointments will ensure that guests and volunteer docents don't have to sit around waiting."
