UPDATE: We've added The Gallery for the Arts, thanks to an Ada Icon reader.
Saturday, November 27 is Small Business Saturday, a “shopping holiday” that supports local businesses. In a village the size of Ada, you might say every day is “shop small” day. It is still a great time to say “thank you for being here” to our local merchants and to participate in the Hardin County Christmas Cookie Walk (at four shops).
Saturday, December 4 is the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce Merry on Main celebration--another great day to shop local.
Here is a sampling of Ada shops and their wares.
