It’s Harvest and Herb Festival weekend in Ada, in case it slipped your mind.
The 34th annual Ada Area Chamber of Commerce-sponsored festival closes Main Street Ada all day on Saturday.
It will offer over 150 craft vendors, a kid’s area, parade, crowning of a festival queen and many food booths.

Ruthie’s Boarding Room opened this week at 220 N. Main St., Ada, and it is filled with a wide assortment of gift shop-related items provided by several vendors.
Making the shop opening official was an Ada Area Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting on Wednesday morning.
