The popular swimming and fishing pond and gardens located three miles north of Ada on State Route 235 has been sold by Monty Siekerman.
For the past 14 years, Cedar Cove has played host to numerous garden clubs, Bible studies, birthday parties, and weddings.
During a hot summer, the land has drawn more than 10,000 people for swimming, fishing, Frisbee, or just plain relaxing...all free to those who wanted to visit.
The garden contains more than 250 varieties of trees and shrubs. The property has been described by many as "a little piece of Heaven" and "peaceful."
The Ada VFW and American Legion will conduct the annual Memorial Day services, Monday, May 25, at Woodlawn Cemetery in Ada and at Preston Cemetery east of Alger on Monday.
The Ada service will begin at 2 p.m. at the monument near the chapel on the east side of the cemetery. The speaker will be Dave Archer who served in Vietnam.
The service in Preston will follow immediately afterward.
In Ada, there will be an invocation, a speaker, and youth going to Boys' and Girls' State will read the Gettysburg Address written by Abraham Lincoln in 1864 and the poem "In Flanders's Field" written by John McCrae in1915.

Yes, the Farmers Market will return to Ada this summer, but in a new location.
The market will operate from the Railroad Depot parking lot from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Thursdays beginning June 4.
There was a question about its operating this year due to new restrictions, regulations and requirements demanded by the Ohio Department of Agriculture, which now oversees farmers markets.
Those issues have now been resolved thanks to the assistance of ReStore personnel.
