April is here, the weather is warming and Ada is slowing opening up.
The month’s Hometown Happenings is evidence of the community’s year-long waiting to turn the page.
Among highlights include performances of the spring Ada High School musical, a livestream of ONU’s steel drum and percussion in concert, several additional ONU livestream musical performances and a PaintINN at the Inn at ONU.
The April West Ohio Food Bank's Hardin County food distribution takes place from 1 to 3 p.m., Tuesday, April 6, at the Dial-Roberson Stadium's front lot on the ONU campus, according to Jason Aldrich.
It is a no touch, drive-through distribution.
Enter on Klingler Road. To received food persons must be 18 or older, have a valid photo ID and proof of residency, be at or below 230 percent of the federal poverty guidelines and sign and eligibility to take food home form.
During an earlier food distribution in Ada, 100 families, most from Hardin County, were served. The West Ohio Food Bank distributed 38,356 pounds of food during the afternoon.
A moment on Friday Ohio focused on Ada and Ohio Northern University. Mike DeWine, an ONU law grad, with his wife, toured the HealthWise vaccination clinic in the King Horn Center. Upon arrival, the govenor, already wearing an ONU tie, was presented an ONU face mask. Watch the Icon for more photos on Sunday.
