OCTOBER 2 MEDIA RELEASE__Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio will host their 4th Annual Gala on October 9, 2025. This year’s theme will be “Aloha Nights” and guests will be invited to wear their favorite Hawaiian attire. MHCO's Gala is a fundraising event to benefit the Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio Benevolent Care Fund, which provides support to care for older adults who have outlived their resources. We would also like to thank our Gold Sponsors–Citrin Cooperman, Hometown Pharmacy and the Water Equipment Company–for their ongoing generous support.

This is a “scratch the surface” report on the 2025 Bluffton Fall Festival. Mind you, I spent my day at three different locations, but that just provided a sampling of the food and fun on offer across the village. I dropped by the Bluffton Craft show, the historical Schumacher Homestead and Maple Crest senior living village to get a feel for the 20th annual festival.
