Summer is a great time to explore the art spread across the Bluffton community – especially for viewers unable to visit art galleries elsewhere in Ohio.
As a weekly series, The Icon will feature the art created by John Peter Klassen (1888-1975), a long-time Bluffton College art professor.
For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.
The following construction projects anticipated next week by the Ohio Department of Transportation may change driving patterns for Icon viewers
Interstate 75 between Napoleon Road and state Route 235, just south of the village of Beaverdam to three miles north of the village of Bluffton, in Allen and Hancock counties, continues to experience lane restrictions and ramp closures for paving and reconstruction through November 2020.
Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio has a volunteer opportunity for someone with manuscript publishing skills.
Joanne Niswander, friend and resident of Maple Crest, has completed a historical document including pictures of “How MHCO Came To Be.”
MHCO intends to take this manuscript into an eBook and print format. The manuscript is 120 pages and photos are already in place.
"We are looking for a volunteer with skills to finalize document structure using text-editing skills and online software such as Vellum," said Chris Moser of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio.
