Ada mayor updates Kiwanians and Rotarians on caboose renovation

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, April 7, 2015

Mayor Dave Retterer recently discussed the painting and repair of the 1941 Pennsylvania caboose located in the Ada Railroad Park. He spoke at a joint meeting of the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs.

Mayor Retterer said the idea to improve the caboose was discussed last fall when he was approached by Charles Van Dyne of the Kiwanis Club, asking if something could be done to spruce up the aging caboose.
