This year’s 3rd annual Ride to Remember bicycle event, set for Saturday, July 8, in Bluffton, takes bike riders as far they want to go – from 2 miles to a 112-mile Gran Fondo.
Riders from past year’s come from across Ohio and neighboring states. The village has several events going on for family members not riding, while the ride is underway.
The ride supports the Bluffton Lions Foundation’s bike and pedestrian pathway project which, when competed, will encircle the entire the village of Bluffton.
The community is invited to the Ada High School Concert Band performance Monday, May 22, at 7 p.m. in the auditorium.
Features pieces include:
• The Finale from the Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky
• The Anguish of Nosferatu by Ed Kiefer
• Apollo Myth and Legend by Rob Romeyn
• Aces of the Air by Karl L. King
• Suite form Symphony Fantastique by Hector Berlioz
• Tales of Dundee by Robert Sheldon
This spring concert will also include recognition of the all band and guard students, with awards presentations for involvement in the instrumental music program. Jonathan Lischak is the instrumental music director.
The Ada Kiwanis Club will meet Tuesday May 23rd at 12:00 noon in the Dean’s Heritage Room, McIntosh Center, Ohio Northern University.
Bruce Neely will have the club program.
Former Kiwanian Mark Light and Hardin County 4-H director will be presenting a program on the Hardin County Spark Lab.
The goal of the Hardin County Ohio Spark Lab is to instill that inspiration or “spark” that youth and adults need to discover, learn, and grow in a creative environment.
This setting is more than just a futuristic classroom or makerspace. It is center of innovation in a rural county framed through the education lens of a land grant university system.

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - Once upon a time gasoline was leaded, 30 cents a gallon, or cheaper.
Really.
Those days are gone, but many of the vehicles hooked on that gas survived. Over 200 of them return to Bluffton on Friday, June 16, for the 50th Bluffton Festival of Wheels cruise-in, sponsored by the Bluffton Lions.
Several Ada vehicles are always registered for this show.
A registration form is attached at the bottom of this story.
If luck prevails, you might catch glimpses of some gone-but-not forgotten heavy metal cruisers that once roamed Main Street Bluffton.
