Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, December 21, 2015

The Ada Icon needs viewers assistance. We have 2016 on our mind, and you can help.

We are compiling several 2016 lists.

These events will also go on our news announcement list. Our list includes everything from chicken barbecues, recitals, open houses, and, you get the idea.

• We always look for good stories. For businesses, we'd appreciate knowing if you have a special anniversary taking place in 2016.
