Cora Bischoff, Bluffton kindergartner, knows how to cool off. The answer is simple. Spend an afternoon at the Bluffton Community Swimming Pool. While June started out rainy and a bit on the chilly side, late last week the sun came out and the Bluffton pool became an attractive place to spend some time in the sun.
The pool is open from 1 to 9 p.m. daily with adult lap swims at noon to 1 and 5 to 6 p.m. (Lauren Farnsworth photo)
Wheels go Round on Friday
The Bluffton Lions Club will host Bluffton's 41st annual car show on Friday, June 13, beginning at 5 p.m. on Main Street. This is the third year for the local club to organize this long-standing tradition of heavy chrome, white-wall tires and nostalgia.
Registration fees for those who wish to show a vehicle are $7 in advance (express check-in) and $9 at the show. The registration desk will be set up again in front of The Little Red Barn Florist. Everyone who registers will receive a dash plaque. Most vehicles are classic cars but the rules allow any vehicle with wheels to enter. Last year approximately 240 cars participated.
This year’s show will feature a 1923 electric car from the Allen County Museum, according to Dick McGarrity of the Bluffton Lions Club.
A total of 31 trophies will be awarded at 8 p.m., including Best of Show; Lions Club Choice; Mayor's Choice; Ladies’ Choice; Sponsor’s Choice; and Firemen's Choice. There will also be trophies for the top 25.
The traditional cruise around Bluffton will begin around 8:20 p.m. |
