They came, they saw, they roared.

Seven classes of tractors and semis roared down the dirt track to see which machine could go the farthest under the guidance of top notch drivers, both men and women.

The Hardin County Pullers had a perfect day for the Fall Brawl at Ada War Memorial Park on Saturday with sprinkles the day before, which kept the dust down, and rain falling just as the four-hour event concluded.

Richard the Rooster lives!

But the guy's days may be numbered
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, October 6, 2017

Richard the Rooster lives!

We last checked in with him in July. He's the guy who has been making his home in the 500 block of South Johnson Street for quite some time now.

Back in July, the fancy chick escaped from its owner on East Lehr. With the help of the Ada Icon, Richard the Rooster's owner was identified and the bird was returned home, but the sly fowl got away again. He took up residency on South Johnson this time. Neighbors have been feeding him, kids who live nearby watch his antics, he's a novelty on a street lined with houses.

But the guy's days may be numbered.
