Much that's old (and historical) and some that is new will be featured this year at the Bluffton-Pandora Swiss Community Historical Society's Fall Festival celebration on Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Schumacher Farmstead at 8350 Bixel Road.
Held annually, this event is part of the Bluffton community-wide Fall Festival celebration. New at the Homestead this year will be an Indian village, a Swiss chorus, a lecture on medicinal herbs, and the newly restored woodworking shop and flagstone floors and walkways.
Bluffton's next American Red Cross blood drive is from noon to 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 6, at St. Mary's Catholic Church.
