Descendants of Peter Hilty (1821-1892) and Elizabeth Neuenschwander Hilty (1818-1894), and other persons interested in Swiss family history, are invited to view several family documents and furniture this month.
Bob Hilty, 7790 Rockport Road, Bluffton, has several family heirloom items on display from Dec. 8 to Dec. 29 in his home.
"The Bluffton Senior Center is starting a new tradition," Tonya Meyer, director, told the Icon.
With the help from Signature Health Services, the Senior Center hosts it's first ever Cookie Walk on Saturday, Dec. 15, from 9 a.m. until noon.
"The idea of a cookie walk is to have a wide variety of cookies available to purchase. The buyer can walk in with a little money and walk out with 12 different cookies or six of one kind, two of another and four of another." said Meyer.
Two downtown businesses have special events for youth on Saturday and Bluffton University will hold "Community Day" during its two basketball double headers. Here are the details:
Greg’s Pharmacy
Greg's Pharmacy is hosting Kid's Day on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. according to Greg Conkling, owner. Children of all ages are invited to come and meet Santa and will receive a free 4x6-inch print with Santa. Greg's Pharmacy is located at 126 N. Main St.
It's probably a four door, so that makes it a sedan. But, is it a 1948 Hudson? This toy is on display this month at the Bluffton Public Library. Compare it to the two photos of '48 Hudsons. What do you think?
"Christmas at the Farm" will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 15 at the Hardin Historic Village and Farm, located on Fairground Road in Kenton, according to Linda Iams, Director.
Activities include sleigh rides by the Black Swamp Buggy Club, a performance by the Peaceful Strings Dulcimers, an appearance by Santa and plenty of refreshments.
