By Morgan Roberts, Ada FFA Reporter Ashley Breidenbach of the Ada FFA recently competed in the Sub-District and District Job Interview contest held at Hardin Northern and Kalida High Schools.
The competition is a part of the Ohio FFA Career Development Events program. It is designed to allow students to go through the process of developing a resume, writing a cover letter, filling out an application, interviewing for a specific ag-related job, and finally writing a follow up letter.
Ada Icon viewers are invited to Bluffton on Saturday to watch the 100-plus unit parade (which includes the Ada High School homecoming queen Allison Howard). The event is the 28th annual Bluffton Blaze of Lights.
Several events are planned around the parade. Here's the schedule:
Our Thanksgiving dinner invitation list included favorite poets Lewis Carroll and Robert Frost. Neither accepted, but places were set.
Set, just in case of late arrivals.
Hoping for Mister Carroll’s presence, for days prior to Thanksgiving lines from “Oh, oysters come and walk with us… along the briny beach”… chanted frequently around our cheery home.
It didn’t work.
It didn’t work, even though we ordered a fresh pint of the delicacy from The Dough Hook and informed our poet friend of the menu: Oyster Stew.
The only sign of Mister Frost on Thanksgiving morn was a dusty residue of white stuff on the lawn.
