Ada, Liberty Township and most of the northwestern portion of Hardin County is part of the Ottawa River Coalition.
Ada’s connection to the coalition is through the Grass Run area that encompasses Liberty Township.
The coalition, now in its 28th year, recently held its 2021 annual meeting in a virtual format, according to Haley Belisle, an Ohio Northern University graduate, who is now its executive director.
Belisle said, “This annual event is a time for the coalition to reflect on the achievements of the organization and look ahead to future endeavors.
The area experienced 3.9 inches of snowfall on Jan. 30 and 31, according to Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.

Temperatures ranged from a high on 46 on Jan. 14, to a low of 11 on Jan. 23. The daily weather summary is in the chart below.
