Want to give a tree in honor of someone living or in memory of someone who has passed away?

Ken Wolke, Ada War Memorial Park manager, said to see him to talk about giving a tree to the park. His number is 419-634-0074.

Over the years, individuals and clubs have donated trees to the park where about 2,000 people a day see them at reunions, festivals, sporting events, swimming, and picnicking.
