Two Bluffton University students have performed the duties of Bluffton mascot J. Denny Beaver this academic year. But the identity of only one was revealed during a “beheading” ceremony at halftime of Bluffton’s men’s basketball game on Feb. 15.
Sarah Dailey, a senior from Zanesville, was introduced as one J. Denny during the ceremony, which traditionally marks the only time that college mascots remove their costume heads in public.
Items that have just arrived at Ten Thousand Villagess 115 S. Main St., Bluffton, include bud vases handcrafted in Nepal, according to Aphaphanh Nussbaum, store manager.
"Nepalese ceramics artisans use a traditional potter's wheel to shape each vesel by hand," she said. Vases are $12 each. For more information, open the attachment at the bottom of this story.
