Bellefontaine High School sophomore Alexis Buffkin turned 16 Tuesday, and also spent the day in a special new role as the honorary mayor of Bellefontaine. She was able to participate in this experience through winning this auction item at the Discovery Riders’ recent fundraising gala. During her adventurous day, Alexis had the chance to fly over her city with pilot Steve Buchenroth, and also rode in a Bellefontaine Police cruiser and on a Bellefontaine Fire Department fire engine. Mayor Ben Stahler showed her around the city building and downtown, and introduced her to the Logan County commissioners, Economic Development team and Small Nation. (CITY OF BELLEFONTAINE PHOTOS)
