Posted by Paula Scott on Wednesday, August 10, 2022

If you think the poster for the 2022 Farmers & Merchants Picnic shows a busy day at Ada War Memorial Park on August 13, that's not the half of it.

Eva Wolke provided the Icon with a full itinerary for the day, ranging from all the acts in the talent show, the lineup for the dunk tank and the generous sponsors that make the event possible.

Let's begin with this note: volunteers are still needed, especially in the kitchen. Visit https://signup.com/go/VzaLTpx to support the event as a volunteer.

9:30 a.m. - PARADE
The parade will culminate at the park and come up S. Park Drive.
