FROM ADA ICON - The Lugibihl family may not have an ice cream store in Bluffton, but that doesn't mean that folks in northwest Ohio can't get a taste of their homemade ice cream.
The Lugibihl ice cream store on wheels can be seen at many county fairs and festivals in the area during the summer.
Here, Dorothy prepares ice cream for those who attended the Farmers and Merchants Picnic in Ada last Saturday.
The longtime Bluffton resident said she worked from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. the day before the picnic. And, of course, Saturday turned out to be a marathon day as well for her as picnic-goers ordered reasonably priced cones and dishes of ice cream on a hot afternoon.
EIGHT BUSINESS PHOTO ANSWERS:
1 - Marathon Station
2 - Book ReViews
3 - The Dough Hook
4 - Post Office
5 - Town and Country Flowers
6 - Slaw Cutters in Family True Value Hardware
7 - Shirley's Popcorn
8 - Studio Silhouette
