On January 7, family, friends, colleages and former Ada Schools student athletes gathered to honor Gregory Grimslid (a.k.a. Griz) as the newest member of the Hall of Honor. With a new plaque adorning the wall of honorees inside the south entrance, the reception gave the community an opportunity to thank Grimslid for his outstanding service.

In turn, the Sidney High School graduate spoke of having gone to 10 schools in his own 12 years of grade school, Grimslid said that one of the reasons he stayed in Ada, after graduating with a law degree from Ohio Northern, was because of the schools.

The Beatitudes Belles set a beautiful Thanksgiving table for more than 35 and prepared an eat-in or take-out feast for some 150 diners on Tuesday, November 22. The free meal was open to all with an RSVP. 

The community center at 210 N. Main St. was filled with the delicious scent of turkey, gravy, dressing, etc., etc. Stacks of desserts were hidden in styrofoam containers. We can only imagine the pots and pans to be washed.
