FORT MYERS, Fla. - The Bluffton University baseball squad took to the field to face off against the Pitt-Bradford Panthers in their only contest of the day. The Beavers (4-2) fell behind and were not able to overcome an early 17-3 deficit as Bradford secured a 21-14 victory.
Anyone who attended Bluffton High School knows this scene. It's on the main floor of the old section near the lobby, just outside the old gymnasium. This is one of several dozen student art works on exhibit in March at the Bluffton Public Library. Isabella Angel, BHS freshman, is the artist. Watch the Icon all month for additional artwork from this show.
Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce takes a step back in time on Friday.
Fred Steiner of the Bluffton Icon will share photos and talk about his newly released photo history book, “The Bluffton We Never Knew.”
The book has nearly 170 photos, mostly taken by pioneer photographer Will Triplett (Ropp Triplett’s grandfather). The photos show Bluffton as it grew up during its first half-century of 1861 to 1911.
Copies of the book will be on sale at the breakfast.
