Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, June 25, 2020

Ada’s oldest and longest-running festival, Farmers and Merchants Picnic will take this year off. The parade and other parts of the picnic are also canceled.

It’s another local victim of the covid-19 virus.

Instead, the Farmers and Merchants planning committee will hold a raffle with at least four major prizes, according to Eva Wolke. Those prizes range from a smoker grill and Keystone Meats gift card to a Kahili trip, a television and a firepit.

Complete details on the raffle will be on the Ada Icon next week as will ticket prices and locations where tickets are available.

Water main break causes boil water advisory

Village crews have water turned back on for the residences impacted by the water main break that occurred on South Simon Street
Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, June 23, 2020

UPDATE AT 1 P.M. – South Simon Street between North Park and South Park Avenues is now open for through traffic.  Please continue to proceed with caution, as the temporary road repair from the water main break on 6/22/2020 remains uneven.

A water main break occurring on Monday evening has temporarily closed South Simon Street north of North Park Drive to South Park Drive, according to the village of Ada.

The village asks residents to not attempt to drive through the work zone, as the ground may still be unstable until crews can get the trench backfilled and stabilized.
