In all, 299 student musicians, representing 33 area teachers, will be performing in Ribbon Festival, held Saturday, Nov. 23, at Bluffton University’s Mosiman and Yoder recital halls.

"Ribbon Festival is made possible by the Middle West Ohio Music Teachers Association. Ribbon Festival provides the opportunity for a positive performance experience for students of any age or skill leve," said Krysti Schey, of Krysti's Music Studio, Bluffton.  

"Each registered student performs one piece (preferably memorized) in a one-hour time block recital setting," she said.  

How could a 4-year-old Bluffton girl win this year's Bluffton Icon football contest? Well, it's true and false at the same time.

Young Adelyn Althaus is this year's winner. She accumulated 111 points this season and had three weekly wins. Here's the catch, Adelyn's entries were entered in her name by her dad, Andy Althaus.

But, it made for an interesting contest and we wish Adelyn well in future contests.

Here's a listing of all contestants in this year's contest.
