What a weekend in Ada!

Perfect day for 104th Farmers and Merchants Picnic
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, August 13, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
Gas may have jumped to $2.45 in Ada, but it's the price of feed that matters to these Renegade Equestrian Drill Team riders, by far the most popular entry in the 104th Farmers and Merchants Picnic parade on Saturday morning. 

The drill team from Belle Center received hoots and hollers from the bystanders in their first appearance here. Samantha Mattevi is team captain. You'll find her working here in Ada at Tavern 101 and Bass Trucking. 

The day turned out perfect compared to last year's gully washers which put a stop to festivities. Rain for F&M and Harvest and Herb Fest has been rare.

Final lunch of the summer - now it's back to school

Program is a major endeavor
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, August 11, 2017

By Monty Siekerman
Eva Wolke and Calvin Fisher hand out piece after piece of pizza on Friday at the village pool during a pizza and pool party to conclude the free lunch program orchestrated by ReStore.

There isn't a count yet this year, but 1,500 free meals were given free to Ada area youngsters last year, so the program is a major endeavor.

The lunches were served Monday through Friday at War Memorial Park from the end of school in May until yesterday.

Now, its back to school. The ReStore program was especially popular on Fridays since there were water games and prizes that day.
