Two organizations in town heard reports Wednesday about the planned Ada Dog Park, and both groups gave their encouragement and approval of the project.  

Ken Lauria spoke to the Ada Chamber of Commerce and Jimmy Wilson presented the dog park plans to members of the CIC. They and Cathy Cole and Chris Keiser have been heading up a committee to establish a dog park here by next summer.

The goal is to have a fenced in, off-leash area where dog owners can bring their furry friends to socialize, exercise, and play. One section will be for large dogs, another for small dogs.

Rhett Grant, new Ada Public Library director, shows his wife Jenny some of the historical documents describing the first 100 years of the library.  

He gave a talk on Saturday morning about the library's history, although he just came to town from a suburb of Atlanta just a few weeks ago.

History is one of his areas of interest, so although he is new to the community he has already learned a lot about where he works.

The Ada Icon is posting his history of the library in three parts this week.
