Ada has experienced a week of wind. One way to demonstrate this is to look at the flags waving in the Ada park. Ken Collins took this windy flag photo earlier this week.

Observations, insights and sightings: What the Ada Icon means to Ada

Posted by Fred Steiner on Saturday, February 20, 2016

By Monty Siekerman
As I see it, Fred Steiner is an Innovator.

He began The Ada Icon a mere four years ago. In that short time, his efforts at founding this online means of communication garnered him and his wife Mary the award Business of the Year in Ada.

He accomplished that feat without being here 50 or 100 years. It took less than four years. Why?

Because The Ada Icon (and The Bluffton Icon, too) are effective in many ways.

The Icons build a sense of community in a village. People often report to me, "I didn't know all of that was happening in Ada."

This village is only about one square mile in size, but much goes on here.
