Our problem: which view do we like the best?

There ought to be an award for the most attractive spring scene in Bluffton. If such an award existed, the Icon votes for this scene.

Our problem is that we can't decide which view we like better. The location is the back yards of the Burokers and the Dillers on South Main Street.

The Dillers have a gorgeous magnolia tree. The Burokers have a white blooming cherry and yellow forsythia bush. The combination is out of this world.

The Children's Choir at St. John Mennonite Church, Pandora,will present the musical, "Big Shot," Sunday, April 26, at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.  

This story takes place in a garden at 54 Garden Row where the insects are fearing for their lives. The new owner of the property is bringing in the big, bad Goliath DX 1000 for a full property extermination. The insects learn to listen to the smallest insect in the garden, a spider mite, who comes up with a plan to handle the exterminator.

There are over 70 children ages 4 through grade five involved.

Treva Stratton was recognized by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce with three books donated in her name to the Bluffton Public Library.

The book titles: "Chocolate Hair, Vanilla Care," "Fabulous Teen Hairstyles," and "Braids, Buns and Twists," are now in circulation.
