A fall-themed Discovery Day with prize drawings and a business decorating contest will be hosted by Bluffton merchants on Saturday, Sept. 26.
It also hosts a Saturday morning Cars & Coffee gathering and farmers market.
Nearby, Suter’s Produce has opened their seasonal corn maze, hayride shuttle service to sunflower and pumpkin patches, and cider press shop.
“Bluffton isn’t hosting the annual fall fest this year, but there are fun opportunities in and near the village,” said Paula Scott, Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce CEO.
Green fields turn golden yellow in late September as soybeans in rural Bluffton become ready for harvesting. Here's one of those fields on Columbus Grove Road just west of Tom Fett Road.

Organized collectively by the Mennonite Church USA colleges and universities, these events are replacing the in-person visits admissions counselors typically make to Mennonite high schools during the fall.
However, all high school students are invited to take part in any of the sessions, whether they attend a Mennonite high school.
