By popular vote, audience members of “Dancing With the Ada Stars” awarded contestant Jason Duff the coveted Disco Ball trophy. His vigorous and expressive rendition of the swing with Marina Hattan of the Utah Ballroom Dance Company bested five other Ada locals Saturday night in this stage version of the popular ABC talent competition at the Freed Center for the Performing Arts.
"I am extremely humbled and appreciative,” Duff told the Ada Icon. “It was a wild experience from start to finish, and certainly a wonderful way to celebrate music and the arts in Ada."

To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.
Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.
Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.
The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.
