The informal chat time gave local residents an opportunity to express any concerns they had, but as Ptl. Penny Clark-Keller said most people wanted to express their appreciation for the service that the local police provide.

Chief Michael Harnishfeger said, "It was a great day and a great way to stay in touch." Members of his department met with students, future lawyers, accountants, police officers, physical therapists, as well as retirees, teachers and others from around the Ada area.

County extension office reports Harvest is in high gear
