Lynda Best leads volunteers putting up Ream cutouts on church lawn

A volunteer coalition of Bluffton residents will post the Ream Holiday Folk Art Display cutouts on the Presbyterian Church lawn starting at 3 p.m. on Friday, according to Lynda Best, who is working on the project.

The set-up is part of the Bluffton Cultural Affairs Committee, but with last January’s retirement by Terry Mullenhour, who chairs the committee, no replacement was made by the village.

“Because of a forecast of 100 percent chance of rain on Saturday, we will start at 3 p.m. on Friday,” she told The Icon. “We will try to finish Saturday, weather permitting.”

In a totally unexpected move, on Monday four members of Bluffton council voted to repeal the water and sewer surcharge that it enacted in the spring of 2016.

The legislation was not part of the original council packet, made available to the media, earlier in the week. It was added later and not released to the media in advance.
