if you missed Friday's Music on Main, a summer program of the Buy Ada First ad hoc committee, fear not. The next Music on Main at the Ada Depot is Friday, July 12, same time, same station.
This is the second year the Buy Ada First committee scheduled the event downtown. The idea of the one-evening a month in the summer is to get people downtown and have some fun, while shopping Ada businesses.
The committee meets on the first Wednesday of each month. Meetings are open to interested community residents.
In the meantime, here are some photo from Friday's event. See attachment at the bottom of this story.
