Story and photos by Amy Eddings

Heavy thunderstorms Monday night. Periods of pouring rain on Tuesday. A severe thunderstorm watch was in effect into Tuesday evening. 

All this, after a record wet June in nearby Lima, where 12.67 inches of rain fell. It was the wettest single month since 1901, according to the National Weather Service.

Ada residents may be asking themselves, “Is it time to build an ark yet?"

Farmers may want to petition Noah for a spot in the hold for their corn and soybeans. Many area fields show rows of yellowing plants.

Nothing like an evening in the park with Music on Main

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, July 13, 2015

With all the makings of a small-town evening out, Ada residents enjoyed Music on Main Friday night at the downtown depot park.

LOTS OF PHOTOS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY.

Elements of the evening included a Kiwanis Club chicken barbecue and live music by Common Thread - with Kevin Plaugher, Ada native.

The evening also included free ice cream from Dietsch's - your choice, chocolate or vanilla. There were a half-dozen local vendors displaying and selling their products inside the depot and some V-8 cars on display that love to chug gas. 

Several downtown businesses were open, including Ada's newest, Gallery of the Arts.
