After a one-year absence, fireworks are returning to Bluffton.
The free community display takes place at dusk, which is approximately 9:30 p.m., Saturday, June 28, at the Bluffton University football stadium.
In addition to the fireworks, the Bluffton-Beaverdam-Richland Township United Way will sell 50/50 raffle tickets. The drawing for the 50/50 winner takes place at the stadium prior to the fireworks getting underway.
220 cars, tractors, golf carts, fire trucks. In case you counted.
That's the number of vehicles on Main, Elm Church and Cherry Street on Friday, according to Denny Morrison, director of the 47th annual Bluffton Lions Club Festival of Wheels.
Tom Selhorst of Columbus Grove went home with the best of show trophy. He entered his red 1967 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 Cutlass.
The Village of Bluffton is the new owner of property between Taco Bell and Comfort Inn. The land was presented to the village as a gift valued at $50,000 from its owner, George Kentris of Findlay.
Richard Ramseyer, president of the Bluffton Pedestrian and Bike Pathway steering committee and a member of the Bluffton Lions Foundation, made the announcement during the June 13 Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce breakfast. Ramseyer handed the deed of the property on behalf of Kentris to Mitch Kingsley, who represented the village at the breakfast.
