Bluffton has a calendar full of events taking place this weekend - everything from a visit from Santa, an art gallery opening and a performance of Handel's "Messiah."
Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce member, Richard Gainey of Ada, (aka Santa Claus), has officially been recognized by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV).
The BMV recently picked Gainey’s license plate “ST NIK” as its fifth “What’s on Your Plate?” winner.
P.S. - SANTA WILL BE AT GREG'S ON SATURDAY FROM 10 A.M. TO NOON.
Gainey will soon be featured on the BMV’s Web site, Facebook and Twitter pages. He will also receive a decorative license plate with the personalization of his choice.
A pair of Bluffton University seniors will lace up their cleats again on Sunday, Dec. 7 (10 a.m.) when they travel to Miami, Fla., for the 2014 National Bowl at Ocean Bank Field at FIU Stadium.
The National Bowl Game is an annual post-season college football all-star game consisting of top players from non-FBS schools and it precedes the 2 p.m. FCS Bowl.
Standouts Jack Tomlinson (Westerville/South) and Donovan Brown (Cincinnati/Purcell Marian) will continue Bluffton's tradition of wide receivers displaying their talents in post-season senior bowls.
Grace Paquin, cellist, performs with the Bluffton school orchestra. The musicians presented a concert of Christmas music for residents of the Mennonite Memorial Home on Dec. 3. Click for a video.
