PHOTOS by Jamie Nygaard. Area astronomy enthusiasts and photographers were treated to a clear view of the March 14 "blood worm moon." The moon was a dramatic red shade because of a total lunar eclipse, when the it was completely in the darkest park of the earth's shadow. Bluffton's Denny Morrison reported that his best view was at about 2:30 a.m. through the moon roof of his truck.
The event is "a day filled with local vendors, delicious food, Ada's largest parade, and all things fall. Bring the whole family and celebrate the season with us!"
