The ties will be replaced and, good news for motorists, the road will be made smooth once again. However, the Gilbert Street crossing will be closed most of this week due to the improvement, which is being paid for by the elevator.

What do a chicken, giant tractor, a mayor, a fire truck, a goat, and candy have in common?

They could all be found at Saturday’s Farmers and Merchants parade. Everybody loves a parade, so says the saying, but kids especially like the annual F&M parade in Ada because of the ton of candy thrown by participants.
