Anyone with the notion that winter is simply dull white on brown needs to take a hike.
For a perfect winter hike try Bluffton's Motter Metro Park, part of the Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District.
The Icon did just that on New Year’s Eve.
With an almost full moon rising, temperatures in the low teens, snow on the ground and animal tracks mixed with winter boot prints, here it what the Icon found in the early evening of Dec. 31, 2017.
Join Bluffton-Pandora's oldest tradition at 5 p.m. on New Year's Eve. New year's carolers will sing David Rothen's carols in German at Mennonite Memorial Home. This is a program of the Swiss Community Historical Society and the public is invited to participate.

To best understand our community, it's helpful to appreciate the musical gene of those who carry a Bluffton or Pandora birthmark.
It’s a new year and the Bluffton Senior Center is ready with lots of programming.
Here’s what’s on January’s Center calendar. An attachment below lists all items at the Center next month.
January’s dinner meeting is at noon, Monday, Jan. 8. The program includes photos of the Grand Canyon and Red Rocks trip by the Center earlier this year.
Louise Hampton is the volunteer of the year. The centerboard has chosen Louise, who served at the center’s librarian for over five years.
According to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer, the area had 3.2 inches of snow on Dec. 23. Add to that 2.3 inches on Christmas eve, for 5.5 inches.
The temperatures hovered between 35 and 20 degrees on those two days, but on Christmas the freezer door opened and the high was 20 degrees and the low was 8.
