Another sweep and another five first place trophies for our already packed trophy case!
Five Ada groups participated in this past weekend's OIPA event in New Philadelphia, including flag line, rifle line, gold team winter guard, purple team winter guard and winds.
Congrats to all Ada performers and directors Mr. Lischak and Amy Webb. Perhaps the highlight of the day was the humorous award ceremony exit of one lovable t-rex (Jacob Bassitt) and monkey sidekick (Jacob Morgan).

Here's a very friendly shepherd mix, currently available for adopting at the Hardin County dog shelter as of Monday, 3-20-17.
To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.
Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.
Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.
The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.

Tyler is active in Campus Scouts, after being a Scout in grade school and high school in New London. She is now a senior education major. ONU Campus Scouts recently sponsored a father-daughter dance and, next month, will head up a safety program about fire and poison prevention for the girls in the Ada troops
