The Inn at ONU offers busy June schedule of events

The Inn at ONU, Ada's full-service hotel, has built a reputation for quality and customer services. Guests at The Inn experience luxurious accommodations, fine dining and friendly staff.

To continue to meet its guests’ needs, The Inn will undergo building improvements and enhancements over the summer.

These will be completed in four phases. The Inn will continue to operate as normal during the first two phases of the work.

The third phase begins July 27 and will be completed late August. During the third phase, The Inn's culinary services will be closed; therefore, any room reservations made during the third phase will be reduced by $10 per person.

Post office art

Art is all around us. Take, for example, the brickwork above the doorway to the Ada post office. It's something you don't notice every day, but it is always present
