On December 14 Merry on Main celebrations brought a steady flow of families and friends to explore shopping and activities. The Ada Area Chamber of Commerce coordinated and promoted the annual program with assistance of local businesses and volunteers.

Chamber director Lindsay Hollar commented, "This year, I have just loved all of the collaboration and participation of all our businesses. I feel a renewed sense of the holiday and the excitement from all of our businesses.... It just makes it an overall really enjoyable day for the community.
