A chat with Allison Howard

15 minutes with Allison Howard

We understand you were homecoming queen this year. What thoughts went through your mind when your name was announced on the football field?

Oh I didn't know what to think, honestly. I was overjoyed and surprised and just so grateful. I didn't think much, I just felt it all and it was wonderful, to say the least.

Have you decided on your college plans next year?

I've decided to go to Rhodes for two years for all my prerequisite classes, and then I plan on finishing college at either the OSU branch in Lima or going to Columbus.

It was a very Merry on Main evening

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, December 1, 2014

Indeed, it was Merry on Main Monday evening in Ada. The Depot was filled with youth of all ages waiting to talk with Santa. 

Miss Vicki's Music Studio homeschool choir performed a recital of familiar and not-so-familiar Christmas music.

WATCH THE VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY.

Two horse and wagons give all in attendance an opportunity to take a spin around town.

There was plenty of punch and cookies to go around for everyone.

And, the depot park, now decorated for Christmas, adds a neat touch to Main Street.
