Ada civic clubs and churches took advantage of the Harvest and Herb Fest last weekend by making themselves known and encouraging membership. Some groups  gave out water and Bibles while others had games to play, sold food, or sponsored raffles.

This is a series of photos of several of the civic and church groups who were on hand for the festival.

Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common disease among children, especially for those under 5 years of age.

Outbreaks of this disease in Ohio often happen during the summer and fall. It is most commonly caused by Coxsaskieviruses, which causes painful blisters in the mouth and throat as well as blister rashes on the hands, feet and diaper area. The virus is spread by the close contact, cough, nasal or oral secretions, and/or stool from infected persons.
