Anne Stratton antique appraisal program at library July 8

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, July 3, 2015

Ever have an antique sitting on a shelf, tucked away in a drawer or sitting in a corner and wonder if it is valuable?

Anne Stratton, Lima, is an expert appraiser. She will be at the Ada Public Library from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 8, to give free appraisals, two items per person, (no guns, Bibles, coins or stamps).

She has been on the popular PBS Antiques Roadshow, has appraised antiques for more than 40 years, and has done appraisals at the local library many times.

Maybe she can place a value on that old vase, painting, quilt, or photograph that you've been wondering about. Check it out.

This Ada secret garden is really in plain sight

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, July 2, 2015

A secret garden is in plain sight of many passersby along Ada's North Main Street.

The well-tended and designed garden features mostly herbs.

Owned by the Tom Elsasser family for 35 years, the home and garden is located across from the Methodist Church and next to the library.

It's a pleasant view for the many drivers and walkers who pass by throughout the day. Next time you are in the area, slow down, glance over and enjoy the scene.
