Can you believe October begins on Thursday?

Ada activities remain somewhat limited due to covid-19 restrictions on meetings and large groups events. 

However, the Icon found several things on the calendar worth noting. Much of it is virtual.

Events include the Ohio Northern University virtual weeklong homecoming celebration Oct. 11 to 17. Two programs at The Freed Center are available to watch as a streamed event.

Several additional October events are also planned. Viewers will find these on the printer-friendly Ada Hometown Happenings October 2020 calendar attached to this story.

The Icon Hometown Happenings calendar is compiled by Darlene Bowers.

“Waiting for Lefty” is set in New York City, where the cab drivers union is on the verge of a strike, and corrupt union boss Harry Fatt is doing everything he can to discourage the men from taking their cause to the streets.

As they reflect on the circumstances that are driving them to the brink of a strike, the mysterious absence of their elected chairman, Lefty Costello, leaves the workers feeling uneasy.
