Liberty Belles and Boys 4-H Club will host an information night and registration from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 17, at First Presbyterian Church, 201 S. Main St., Ada.

Eligibility for participation in 4-H projects and competitive events begins when a child is age 8 and in the 3rd grade. 

Any youth 9 older is eligible for project membership, regardless of grade level. Membership requires enrollment in an authorized Ohio 4-H club or group under the direction of an OSU Extension professional or an approved adult volunteer.

The March Vancrest resident spotlight is on a familiar Ada resident, Evelyn “Myrtle” Krofft. 

In the late 1960s and early 1970s she was Ada’s Welcome Wagon hostess.

Born in Detroit, she and her husband, Robert, moved to Ada after they were married in 1947.

Evelyn was a stay at home mom until her youngest child was 5. She soon went to work as the produce manager at the Ada IGA Food liner, now known as Community Market. 

Evelyn says that she loved to travel with her family, going on many vacations to different states, either tent camping at state parks, sight-seeing, museums, zoos, and even caving.
