If you missed watching fireworks on July 4th, it's no problem. Icon photographer Ken Collins, took photos of the Fourth of July celebration at Faurot Park in Lima.
One of the musical groups at the event was the Lima Area Concert Band, which draws its members from Ada and Bluffton and beyond.
Before the fireworks, some folks were sending Chinese sky lanterns floating into the sky over Lima.
Fireworks, rides, and food were other attractions.
Icon viewers are invited to a princess pancake breakfast from 7 to 11 a.m. Saturday, July 8, in the Beaverdam-Richland Township Fire Department.
The breakfast is a fund-raiswer for Keanna (age 4) and Jayden (age 3) Vogel. Both girls are raising money to participate in the Sunburst International Beauty Pageant in Atlanta, Ga., later this year.
The menu includes princess pancakes with whipped cream and sprinkles, sausage, milk, orange juice and coffee.
Tickets at the door are $7 for adults, $5 for youth ages 3-12, and free for youth 2 and under.
At 2 p.m., Saturday, Wendy Chappell-Dick will present a musical program of favorite hymns, at the Swiss Community Historical Society's Schumacher's homestead, 8350 Bixel Road, Bluffton.
Hymns are from the Radical Reformation through the local Swiss settlers' immigration and assimilation process, tracing musical influences on Mennonite music from various folk traditions.
The hymn arrangements are done for dulcimer, guitar and vocals, and combine secular songs with religious works of similar influence.
Three concerts are planned this week in Sauder Visual Arts Center on the Bluffton University campus. Each concert is at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, according to Wendy Chappell-Dick.
The performances are connected to "From Swords to Plowshares," art exhibit in the center.
Performing on Thursday is Doug Adams. Performing on Friday is Chappell-Dick. Performing on Saturday are Adams and Chappell-Dick. Saturday's performance is a sing-along.
