Note from Icon: Old Man Bluffton, retired and now world traveler, shows up in Bluffton briefly each December. If he’s in the mood, he allows the Icon to interview him.

The program will consist of a play telling the story of “Lydie” as she comes to understand the true meaning of Christmas, along with a number of musical selections and parts for children of the congregation.  Everyone is welcome.  For more information call 419-326-6361.

The second edition of “Bridge: The Bluffton University Literary Journal” is now live.

Bluffton was without a pharmacy on Saturday. The big switch from Greg's Pharmacy, owned by Clark's RX, to CVS Pharmacy took place over the weekend. The pharmacy at 126 N. Main St., reopened Monday morning under new ownership.

Production issues have delayed the printing of the Icon’s book “The Bluffton We Never Knew,” according to Fred Steiner.
