Richard Boehr with Janette Reineke and Beverly Amstutz, two daughter of Eugene Benroth, were recognized Friday at the 50th annual Bluffton Festival of Wheels. Boehr and Benroth came up with the idea of an old car show in 1967 and the rest is history. (Mark Yoder photo)
Two years after her oldest daughter, Zoey Miller ’14, walked across the stage of Bluffton University’s Sommer Center to receive her bachelor’s degree, Robin Pohl followed in her daughter’s footsteps.
Pohl, a 2016 degree-completion graduate, came to Bluffton to earn her bachelor’s in organizational management as a working adult.
“I promised myself once Zoey and her sister, Quincy, were established and were certain to be college graduates, then it could be my turn,” said Pohl, an executive assistant at The Ohio State University Lima.
This year’s third annual Ride to Remember takes place on Saturday, July 8. Registration is at Bluffton Family Recreation and bikers may opt for several routes covering 2 miles all the way to 112 miles.
There’s never a dull moment for Ride to Remember bikers.
With the help of some clever statements – remember Burma-Shave signs? – bike riders will find many chuckles along bike routes.
“Boomer” bikers will understand; younger bikers will catch on quickly.
Create sidewalk chalk art and meet Jennifer Trafton, the author of Henry and the Chalk Dragon, through Skype at “Chalk and Talk.” Join us on June 29 at 10:30 a.m on the lower level of the library.
Advanced registration is required. What stories will you create this summer?
