Ada is full of famous people, but you already knew that

Just look at our Halloween photos...there's a unicorn, a Blues Brother, the entire Addams family, plus Bat Girl
Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, October 30, 2019

It was a captive audience of young and long-time Ada residents, all dressed up for a party.

Behind the police station, of all places. Of course, that only means it's the line up for the annual Ada Kiwanis Club Halloween parade.

The Icon loves captive moments like this one. We meet lots of interesting folk. There was a unicorn, one of the Blues Brothers, the entire Addams family and Bat Girl.

Can you believe that there were even two Cousin Its? We photographed one and it asked: "Should I smile?" (Think about it.)

Ada 4-H campers know about Camp Ohio

Restroom renovation campaign underway
Posted by Icon K on Wednesday, October 16, 2019

4-H Camp Ohio, the 4-H camp  serving youth from Ada and Hardin County 4-H, is raising money for a restroom renovation campaign.

The current restroom facility, which was constructed over 50 years ago, has limited privacy and is not compliant with the American Disabilities Act (ADA.)  

Approximately 8,000 youth and adults camp annually at 4-H Camp Ohio. These user groups are primarily from 4-H and school groups. In addition, 4-H Camp Ohio provides a retreat and workshop setting for civic organizations, businesses, scout groups, family reunions and others.
