Spring!

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Friday, March 31, 2017

On a day when March showers, hopefully, bring May flowers, several youngsters made a "greenhouse," planted bean seeds in the "structure," and did a lot of coloring.

The spring activity at the Ada Public Library on Thursday involved coloring the edges of a "greenhouse," adding some seeds inside a plastic bag, and placing cotton balls inside the bag for moisture to help the seeds sprout. Soon, the children will have their own bean starts to plant at home.

Here, Sophie (left) and Phoebe McKinley enjoy the activity.

April and May in Ada

It takes 6 pages to tell the story - and it's all in the Icon's Hometown Happenings
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, March 30, 2017

Nothing happening in Ada this spring?

Wrong! Try this: pancake day, high school musical, Arbor Day celebration, school honors assemblies, high school and ONU graduations, lots of music recitals, Thursday dinner club, and even a blind date with a book.

It takes six pages of single-spaced type to tell the Ada April and May story of coming events.

It's all in the current issue of "Hometown Happenings," created for the Ada icon viewers by Darlene Bowers.
