Shots include the Presbyterian Church silhouetted against the evening sky, as well as the wind turbines on the west side of town. The Ada Theatre was all lit up for Saturday evening's show.

2nd and 3rd graders present "Lemonade!" Feb. 25

The Ada second and thrd graders will present the musical "Lemonade!" in the school auditorium twice on Thursday, Feb. 25.

The first performance is during school at 1:15 p.m. The second performance is in the evening at 7 p.m., according to the Ada Music Boosters.

Here's a description of the performance: Everyone has heard the phrase, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" It's a valuable lesson for children of all ages to learn and remember.

Both performances are open to the public.
