Liberty Belles and Boys 4-H Club is holding a drive-thru food drive to benefit the Ada Food Pantry.
The food drive will be held on Saturday, June 14 from 9 a.m. to noon at Hays Insurance on Main Street. The food pantry needs items such as peanut butter, jelly, canned fruit, mac and cheese, canned meats, canned beans, and personal hygiene items.
This is one of the 4-H club's most successful community service projects, and this year they hope to get at least 500 items donated. Please bring your donation to Hays Insurance on Saturday morning!
Each week in June and ending in the first week of July, The Icon will post two photos revealing one letter (or number) taken from Main Street Ada buildings and structures. All photos were taken in May by the Icon’s official contest photographer, Bailey Bowers. The photos cover Main from College Avenue on the south to Highland Avenue on the north.
We invite Icon viewers to keep track of the letters by identifying each letter’s location. An entry form is attached to this story for viewers to keep up to date in the contest.
Handmade bracelets, necklaces and plaques created by God Rocks are now offered in The Inn at ONU gift shop, Ada.
Connie Grashel from Portage, Ind., is the artist behind the creations. Although not from Ada, she has a niece who attends ONU and a cousin employed at ONU.
Carrying a religious theme, the items are meant to be carried as a reminder that God is our rock and our salvation, says Grashel.
“When things get tough they are a reminder that God is there for us,” she said.

The Ada Historic Depot Railroad Park had a few extra hands providing TLC in late May.
The park is cared for by a combination of volunteer and Village work, though the early growing months usually require more work to get the beds cleaned out, the perennials tended and thinned, and mulch spread in each of the flower beds.
Once again this year, the park received extra help from the Ada Elementary 6th graders and six Ada graduating seniors.
Here’s the May weather summary provided by Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.
The high temperature of the month was 88 degrees on May 27. The low was 38 on May 6. May’s average temperature was 62 degrees. The normal May temperature is 60.5 degrees. May’s rainfall was 2.66 inches. The normal May rainfall is 4.01 inches.
