Ada High School homecoming activities start Friday and run to next Friday as a long "Spirit Week" holds several daily events. The Ada community is invited to join school students in several of the after-school events.
Ohio Northern University celebrated homecoming last weekend. Here are three of our favorite homecoming parade photos. We hope you enjoy them also.
Phil Compton escorts ONU President and Mrs. Dan DiBiasio into his 1971 Cadillac convertible prior to the Ohio Northern University homecoming parade on Saturday morning.
Compton taught at the university from 1967 to 2002. Since retirement from ONU, he has served as pastor of Rhinehart United Methodist Church near Mt. Victory. His four-door Caddy was custom made for Nelson Rockefeller.
Everyone loves a parade, even Snickerdoodle, a 3-year-old labradoodle, owned by Harold and Susan Putt.
Roger L. Nichols, 64, died on Friday, Sept. 25, 2015, at 12:29 p.m. at his residence in Alger.
He was born on Oct. 14, 1950 in McGuffey, Ohio, to Robert L. and Marie (Hicks) Nichols who preceded him in death. Roger was previously married to Peggy Shepherd and she survives in Kenton.
He was a 1968 graduate of Upper Scioto Valley High School. Roger retired in 2006 from Ford Engine Plant of Lima after working for 35 years. He was an associate member of the New Birth Living World Ministries, Inc. of Alger.
Hundreds of people lined up before 8 a.m. for the annual Wilson Sporting Good Co. garage sale on Saturday morning. The event was held in the company's parking lot, nearby parking areas were filled to capacity.
The sun had barely peeked above the horizon, but a long line of shoppers was already on hand to take home some bargains.
One man said he was there for the "good deals."
Another said he was carrying out golf clubs for $55 that would normally sell for $200 in a retail store.
