The ONU Child Development Center held a trike-a-thon Tuesday to raise money for BOOTS for Bulldogs, a door security system to be installed at the Ada Schools.

These future Bulldogs, and their parents donated, $320 to sponsor a door. The youngsters rode their trikes through a colorful maze of tunnels, bridges, and gates.

Directing the  kiddies maneuvering crisscross paths was like trying to herd cats, but the little ones had fun while raising money for a good cause. The CDC staff was assisted by university students involved in the honors orientation program.

Dogs also enjoy Harvest and Herb Fest'

Just take it from these canine owners

Dogs enjoyed the Harvest and Herb Fest, as well as their owners. It’s a day for puppies to see lots of sights and smells from the aroma of funnel cakes to bees wax. A few dogs met up with their furry friends from the new Ada Dog Park.

Ada is not a particularly dog friendly town compared to other places. You’ll see “No Dogs Allowed” on several businesses. However, those working in the village government offices are always glad to see pooches.
