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.

Kiwanis Club has led the way in replacing trees that have died of old age or storms. The club, for many years, has donated a tree in honor of a member who has done outstanding service to the community.
