Some of these are chamber sponsored, other chamber supported, while others are for information purposes. Watch the Icon for more details on all these events, and in the meantime, add the ones of interest to your calendar.
It's Allen County Fair week.This year's fair runs from Friday, Aug. 16, through Saturday, Aug. 24.
While the fair for some means rides, food and entertainment, for many Bluffton youth the fair means entering junior fair competition. For many Bluffton adults, it means entering open class competitions.
The fair offers several other activities including a demolition derby, cheerleading competition, harness racing, antique tractor pull, band showcase, baton and flag corp competition, truck, tractor and semi sled pull.
The Bluffton High School marching band will offer a free show to the public at 6 p.m., Friday, on the Harmon Field practice field, according to Dave Sycks, director.
From there, the band will go to the Allen County Fair and will perform in the band show at the grandstand.
