Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, August 17, 2018

"Bonjour,” Philip would have said many times in his native French, but here in Ada he gives the greeting, “Hi, glad to meet you,” in English. Philip Gautier, an Ada Rotary Club exchange student from the Normandy area of France, has had a whirlwind first week in Ada.

Within hours of arriving in Ada. Philip, attended the Farmers and Merchants picnic, not as a streetside spectator, but riding in a car emblazoned with his name and that of Rotary.

After the parade, he attended the F&M picnic, greeting many more people.

Splish, splash

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, August 15, 2018

Splish, splash. Three-year-old Drew Mowery enjoys a flooded sidewalk in front of his home on Monday. He could run barefoot in the water without getting rained on. The village was testing water pressure nearby, so for a few minutes the sidewalk, grass, and driveway at the Mowery home were soaked with water. But the fun soon ended when the water dissipated. Click here for the "geyer" photo. (Photos by Monty Siekerman)

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, August 13, 2018

By Monty Siekerman
This year Dave Dellifield served as emcee for the Farmers and Merchants Picnic opening ceremonies.

In his remarks, he said proceeds from the picnic are plowed back into the park for improvements.

He noted that the picnic is the longest-running, continuous fair/festival in Ohio, now in its 105th year.

He said the F&M originally began as a county fair for Allen, Hardin, and Hancock counties.

He said the F&M is located in a grove of trees on land originally donated by the Ream family.

He introduced Tony Wolke, park board president, and other board members.
