www.SuperCuteDresses.com/ is an online shop owned by Luke and Kariann Ringger of rural Bluffton. The business sells nursing dresses to mothers and dresses to women of all shapes and sizes. The business started back in July 2022 from their home.

Kariann learned how to buy and sell on Facebook out of necessity, because that’s how she could afford clothes. While Luke was in seminary getting his masters, Kariann would resell cloth diapers on Facebook to help with family finances.

FROM VILLAGE OF MCGUFFEY FACEBOOK__There has been a significantly LARGE water line break on Courtright across from the school.

The plant will need to be shut down so that no machines burn up during the repairing and replacing process.

Because of this the whole Village will lose water for a bit and then go on to a “Boil Water Advisory” once it comes back on.

We will keep you updated as we get updates. We are very sorry for this inconvenience!
