The Icon received a letter to Santa from one of the llamas at the Hard Rock Llama farm, rural Bluffton. Anyone who attends the Bluffton Arts and Crafts show each May has had a chance to say hello to some of the llamas. The farm is operated by Mike, Wendy and Mandy Gerken.
The letter came from a baby llama, who is yet to have a name, however, it signed the letter "Milk Toast."
We invited viewers to read the letter and to get an update on the life of llamas in rural Bluffton.
I wanted to take a moment to once again thank the diligent employees we have in the Bluffton Utilities Dept. No matter what time of day they are there to help you with your emergency situation with calm and professionalism. Thank you

From Kyler to Santa
Dear Santa:
I have been a good girl. These are some of the things that I would like:
My wife and I enjoyed the Bixel interview. My wife, Joy, is also a Hope College graduate, and I am a Bluffton College graduate. Small world. We have been married 45 years. Kindly pass along to Andrew that the liberal arts of both colleges make for an ideal relationship.
