Village Cut ‘N Curl, 212 Cherry St., Bluffton, now has three owners, according to Lynda Best.

The three are Best, Lori Steffen and Janis Badertscher. Lynda worked with Janis and Lori’s salon at Hair Quarters for three months following the May 2 flood, which closed Cut 'N Curl for remodeling.

According to Lynda, after working so well during that period, the three decided to become partners at the newly remodeled Village Cut 'N Curl.

A grand reopening is set for 2 to 4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 3. Ron and Sue Epp of Bluffton own the building.

Kevin Haver: “Feedback we’ve received about the park here in Bluffton is to keep it simple and natural.”

Several enhancements were added this summer to Bluffton’a Motter Park, which is part of the Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District.

“A gazebo is now in place at the park entrance. It was made possible through a gift from the Jean Henze estate of Gomer,” according to Kevin Haver, park district director. “A second gazebo is now in Kendrick Woods, another park in the district.”

“The gazebo is the focal point of Motter Park,” said Haver, adding that it can be used as a meeting place for persons planning to hike the park’s trails.

Several committee meetings are on the Bluffton council schedule this month. All meetings are held at the village's town hall. Those follow:

Utilities Commission – Wednesday, October 23 at 5 p.m.
Ordinance – Thursday, October 24 at 8 p.m.
Village Council  - Monday, October 28 at 7 p.m.
