Ada head baseball coach Jason Campbell and head softball coach Rebecca Dicke organized a special memorial game for recently deceased 2020 Bulldog senior pitcher Alex Sweigart at the park Sunday afternoon.

A good crowd turned out on a sunny, warm day for the contest between the Ada high school baseball and softball squads.

Here comes the parade!

Red, White and Drive Through parade keeps Vancrest residents waving
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, July 12, 2020

It’s possible that the encore was even better than the first time around.

A National Nursing Home Week parade through Vancrest was a big hit in May. The 50+vehicle parade allowed residents to get outside for the first in week and enjoy a parade just for them.

That wasn’t enough for the resident or those paraders. On Wednesday A Red, White and Drive Through parade entertained residents once again.

This parade included several horses in addition to all those 4-wheel vehicles. And, with over 50 participants, it was a 20-minute-and-longer affair.

Movie review: Almost Famous

When the credits roll it might make you want to take a stroll down your own memory lane for a time that made you laugh, cry, and taught you a lot about life
Posted by Fred Steiner on Saturday, July 11, 2020

Almost Famous
Will: So Russell, what do you love about music?
Russell: To begin with… everything.

ALMOST FAMOUS is the coming-of-age story of William Miller (PATRICK FUGIT), a 15-year old aspiring music journalist who goes on tour to cover an up-and-coming band for Rolling Stone magazine (note: Rolling Stone doesn’t know he’s 15). The film turns 20 years old this year, which is as good an excuse as any to pack up and hit the road with Stillwater.
