Instead of Bluffton Child Development Center students going to the farm, the farm came to them last week. Members of the Bluffton 4-H Cattle Club visited the Center and shared some of their animals with the children, according to Mary Painter, Center director.
"Our kids had so many questions to ask and the members of the club were very willing to answer them," said Painter. "It was truly an on-hands experience that some children may never have access to."
Thanks to Dennis Morrison Icon viewers may now watch a short You Tube video that shows photos of every Bluffton, Ohio, mayor.
