052887 - The Icon first thought this was a a zip code, but upon further study, we believe the owner of this plate was born on May 28, 2987. We welcome clarification from any Icon view with more information. We spotted this plate on a blue Honda CR-V in Ada. (The monthly renewal sticker confirmed our birthday theory.)

Well, it rained on our parade, but the 50th annual Bluffton antique car show was still a bit hit. Watch the Icon for the list of winning vehicles.

Whether it was a Ford, Chevy, Mercury or Dodge, lots of vehicles from the past parked on Main Street on Friday as if they owned the street. And the did.
Jamie Nygaard photographed the show for the Icon and her photos follow:
School is out for the summer, but several school programs are in session. Here's an update on school summer activities from the school website:
Superintendent's office Open all summer - Mondays to Fridays 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Bluffton High School June office hours – Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Closed July - Reopens in August
The buzz-in system will not be used during summer months. The high school doors are open at College Avenue and Jackson Street, unless cleaning is taking place.
Imagine cleaning the Riley with a sweeper that worked under water.
The fork of the Rileys – where the Little Riley meets the Big Riley - was the location of a Sand Wand demonstration earlier this month. The demonstration worked like a sweeper.
The wand enables the clean up of sediment in streams. The village and Blanchard River Watershed Partnership (BRWP) conducted the demonstration.
Fifty years ago Dick Boehr, Gene Benroth and some other downtown merchants had a crazy idea: Let's have an old car. It might bring people to Bluffton.
Fifty years later it continues to take place and continues to bring people to Bluffton.
And, not surprisingly, 50 years later, the cars that are classic today were new in 1967. Who would have thought!
You can except nearly 200 vehicles that grew up on leaded gas to return to Bluffton on Friday, for the 50th Bluffton Festival of Wheels cruise-in, sponsored by the Bluffton Lions.
