The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce has postponed the Saturday, June 27, fireworks at Bluffton University. With a 60-80 percent chance of rain the forecast the chamber decided to reschedule the event for later this summer. A reschedule date is not yet set.
The Clubhouse, The University of Findlay’s free literacy program for children in Hancock County and surrounding areas, received $4,620 from Bluffton-based Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn Co.
The funding will help pay for The Clubhouse’s tutors.
Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn Company representatives presented a check to Clubhouse organizers on Monday during the closing celebration of the Summer 2015 3-2-1 Program, which provides free small group tutoring on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

The stereotype of country living is that everyone knows everyone else’s business. That didn’t hold true for neighbors of a new pig barn being built in Hancock County, less than a quarter mile from Hardin County resident Liz Vogt.
“I walk their creek,” she said of the Daft family farm. “I saw that [crews] were digging. I thought I’d go up and see what they were doing. I thought, wouldn’t it be nice if they were building a new barn."
Wheels will be turning as vintage and classic cars cruise to Richland Manor's Car Show Friday, June 26, from 4-7 p.m. Trophies will be awarded to the top five cars/truck and best motorcycle.
We invite the community to view the cars and enjoy some food. Please bring a canned food item to be donated to the local food pantry. For more information, contact Richland Manor, 7400 Swaney Road, 419-643-3161.
