Ada Boy Scout troop 124 held its Court of Honor May 12 at the Ada Park.
Here's a report of the event:
The Scouts planned a meal of walking tacos to be shared with their families before beginning the ceremony. Senior Patrol Leader, Aaron Spar served as master of ceremonies. He opened the event with Deavan Scott leading the Pledge of Allegiance along with Patrol Leader, Isaac Spar leading the Boy Scout Oath.
Various young men spoke to the crowd about the events they have participated in since their last Court of Honor in February.
Ada youth learned about bake safety and had some fun on Saturday as the Ada Police Department and Ada Kiwanis Club held a spring bike rodeo. Here are some views of the event taken by Brian Myers.
The Kiwanis Club purchased helmets for participants. McDonalds donated the refreshments. Padrones, and China King donated raffle prizes. Walmart provided the bikes to winners.
The Hootenannies 4-H Club met at Miranda Holbrook’s farm. President Megan Williams opened the meeting and asked Preston Brien to lead the American pledge and Faith Holbrook to lead the 4-H pledge. Secretary Miranda Holbrook found 11 members present with roll call.
We voted to reconsider the Keeping Hardin Co. Beautiful at our next meeting when more information can be given to the members. We also voted to help at the Kenton YMCA Triathlon on Sat. July 26. Club members can work at the event and participate when their age group is up. This year they are having it for youth and adults.

“Art education for me is all about the students. I am there to encourage them in their art making, introduce them to old and new mediums and their uses, share artists’ lives and styles of art with them. Young artists and their enthusiasm are why I am in the classroom.”
These words are the credo of Jacque Sperling, teacher, encourager, guider, eternal cheerleader. Jacque will be retiring from her art classroom at Ada Schools in a couple short weeks.
Born and raised on an Ada farm, Jacque attended Ohio Northern University and was interested in geology and the sciences but decided upon art education for her degree.
The Ada Barnyard Farmers 4-H Club met on Sunday, April 27 at 3 p.m. The meeting was called to order by President Alexis Amburgey. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Melia Samtillanez and the 4-H Pledge was led by Liam Boulanger. Secretary Shelby Hazelton called roll, and 17 members were present.
There was an introduction of visitors and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Treasurer Brice Ferguson gave the treasurer’s report. The advisors then gave a report. Members are to sign up for committees if they have not already.
