Richland Manor will provide breakfasts again. Breakfast will be served at 7 a.m. The program begins at 7:30 a.m.
Imagine a 250-mile garage sale. It's the world's largest - or longest, or both - and it's in Bluffton's backyard this weekend. It's the fifth annual Lincoln Highway garage sale. Bluffton is just about mid-way on the sale map.
Check out The Icon's classified ads. We have countless garage sales listed between Cairo and Beaverdam, one listed on Main Street Beaverdam, five listed on Sugar Creek Road, just off the Lincoln Highway.
Any Bluffton student who will be entering the 7th grade this fall is required to have a Tdap booster vaccination (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) prior to the start of the 2011-12 school year.
The TDAP shot is a booster to the shot students receive before entering Kindergarten.
Verification of the Tdap booster shot must be dropped off, mailed, or faxed (419) 358-4871 to the Bluffton Middle School office prior to Aug. 29.
