Ada Icon photog Ken Collins took a tour of Hardin County with camera in hand and didn't have to go far to see these scenes of Gene Autry Park, just one block west of the courthouse in Kenton.
Autry is known as America's Favorite Singing Cowboy, having written and recorded hundreds of songs.
The Autry museum is located in LA. Although he died at the age of 91 in 1998, long before the take off of social media, his YouTube Channel has garnered more than a million views in just three years.
Ask Jim and Jean Neiswander how to grow a state-fair-winning dinner plate hibiscus because the one that recently started blooming in their front yard would qualify for such an honor. Here, Jean tends the Pink Elephant variety of hibiscus at her home on the corner of East Montfort and North Johnson. To get blooms like this, the plant requires TLC all season long, but the display is worth the effort.
KENTON - The Ada boys golf team defeated county foe Ridgemont at the Kenton Golf Course Wednesday to earn their first victory of the young season.
The Bulldogs beat the Gophers 247-259 in a tight dual match.
"It's very nice to get a win early in the season," said Ada head coach Jason Campbell. "It will help make practice better and more fun; you have to enjoy the wins when you get them."
Ada was led by junior Jake Colwell, who shot a career-best 57 over nine holes to take third individually in the dual match.
