Bluffton non-profit organizations are invited to take advantage of a half-price booth cost for the May 22 arts and crafts show. Non-profit groups are invited to create a display about what their organization is all about. They may also sell items from their booth, if they choose.
"It's a great way for local clubs and organizations to share what they are all about to the community," said Jerry Burkholder, craft show vendor coordinator.
Groves Bears store will temporarily relocate the business and reopen for walk-In business the week of March 29, according to Robin Wilch, store owner.
The new location will be at 123 S. Main St., which is the former Wright's store. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has used that building as its office during the streetscape project.
