A holiday craft show is planned at the Jenera Town Hall later this month.
The event is from noon to 4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 17. The town hall is located at 1800 State Route 698, Jenera.
The how will have crafts, Christmas gifts, baked goods, raffles and other items. Proceeds from the event are being donated to a family to help with medical bills.
Now there’s a new place to eat dinner on weekends. Mustard Seed Cafe, 562 N. Main St. Bluffton, has extended its hours and is now open Friday and Saturday evenings from 5 to 8 p.m.
Appetizers include shrimp cocktail, cold poached scallop with blueberry vinegar aioli, mussels steamed in beer, baked brie with cranberry compote, hummus with vegetables, olives & flatbread, continental plate for two and calamari meze.
Bev Amstutz, local artist, has created a Blaze of Lights holiday card for over 10 years. Her 2013 debuted in Greg's Pharmacy this week, and it offers a charming touch to Bluffton holidays.
This year's card has a left and right panel and opens like "barn doors." (See the example at the bottom of this story.)
The cover features this year's Blaze theme "Deck the Halls." When opened, the card shows the front of the Bluffton town hall. Cards are $1 each and are available at Greg's Pharmacy and from Amstutz.

He was born on Dec. 6, 1937 in Bluffton, Ohio, to the late Leonard H. and Flossie L. (Hartman) Henry. On June 2, 1957 he married Clarice M. Jump who survives in Ada.
Mr. Henry was a 1955 graduate of Ada High School. He was a lifelong member of the Bethel Church of Christ. He was a retired farmer, co-owner of the B&H Garage and the Sohio Station in Ada and he previously worked at Excello in Bluffton.
The Village of Bluffton may eliminate four Main Street parking spaces at the College Avenue intersection. The move is to improve vision at the intersection. Orange cones were place there as an experiment recently. The village is also considering eliminating parking spaces at the Main and Jefferson Street intersection.
