One of the Ada community’s oldest continuing traditions, Town and Gown banquet, takes place Monday, Nov. 4, in McIntosh Center on the Ohio Northern University campus.
The event, open to the public, is co-sponsored by the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce and ONU. The Town and Gown Association was organized in 1957 to promote harmony and goodwill between the townspeople and the university.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m., and a dinner and program follow in the McIntosh Ballroom at 6 p.m.
The event includes introduction of newcomers to Ada and the presentation of the 2019 Ada Distinguished Citizen Award. The deadline to nominate someone for this award is Wednesday, Oct. 16. Nominations may be emailed to Ann Donnelly Hamilton, office of the ONU president, at [email protected].
Northern Steel together with the Wild Steelions, both directed by Sarah Waters, will perform during the banquet.
Tickets for the banquet are $20 each and are available at the following locations:
• Ada Public Library
• Ohio Northern University human resources
• McIntosh Center information desk
• Liberty National Bank
• Quest Federal Credit Union
