The rainstorms we experienced earlier this week left us all with a little education in the importance of storm sewer systems.
Overall, the Village’s storm sewer system performed quite well during the storms, especially given the amount of rain that came down in a short amount of time.
Some areas of our community received 3-4 inches of water in just a matter of minutes, which is far from the normal rainfall we would expect. While some of our streets had water, the storm sewer system was clear enough to allow that water to recede rather quickly.
Just mention soccer, as an example. With fall 2014 high school athletic practices in full gear, it naturally follows that it's time for an alums-versus-varsity competition.
Bailey Bowers attended the two afore-mentioned soccer games involving Ada boys' versus alumni, and Ada girls' versus alumnae. Here's some shots from those games.
Some people have all the fun. The trampoline jump ride at this year's Farmers' and Merchants' Picnic provided fun for this young man. For more F&M photos click here. (Bailey Bowers photo)
