A PIONEER STORY

An incident in the Early History of Hardin County by Agnew Welsh

Cami Hazelton, an Ada High School freshman, will compete in gymnastics this winter, even though the sport is not offered in Ada.

She is able to represent the school through competition as an independent gymnast in area high school meets.

Her first meet is Saturday, Dec. 22, in Findlay, where she practices in Findlay and has a Findlay coach.

Her involvement in gymnastics started in 2010 and she competes in all four events including floor, vault, bars and beams.

 

And, its annual shopping spree for youth

Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
ReStore held its annual shopping spree for children on Friday evening...and Santa was there, too.

Each year, the community center provides a time for youngsters to pick out free gifts to give to parents and siblings. There are elves there to help wrap the presents, as well. Financial support for ReStore to purchase the new items to give away comes from the Hardin County Foundation.

Santa sat near the front door to hear the wish lists of the children before they began the shopping spree.
