Aug. 10 and 11 - a weekend for Ada to remember

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, August 12, 2012

Where were you on Friday or Saturday, Aug. 10 or 11? Here's a guess. You were either holding one of the more than 50 garage sales in Ada, which were part of the Lincoln Highway Buy-Way Yard Sale, or, you attended the 99th annual Farmers and Merchants Picnic.

Some of us particiated in both. The Ada Icon spent Saturday at the Ada park and shot lots of photos and videos. 

The Icon invites you to sit back and review our photos and videos of one of Ada's oldest annual events. And, please keep in mind, we will continue to add videos and photos of the event all week.

To view the photos, simply click on one to make it enlarge.
