"Don't forget to bring home the honey, honey."

Dan McCrory, owner of the Ada Flea Market, reports he is now selling fresh honey, both in jars and as honey combs.

The Pure Honey brand is provided by David Duncan, who not only has his own bee hives but also serves as Richland County bee inspector.

McCrory, who purchased the store in April, said he continues to carry new mattresses and boxsprings.

Presently, customers will find collections of thimbles and bells, plants and hanging baskets, and many other items. He said, "It's a fun place to shop for a bargain, and the merchandise continually changes."

I was pretty nervous heading into the 800," said Richards. "I just ran the 1,500 pretty hard right before the 800 and my legs were a little tired."

For the second time in 2017, junior Emily Richards (Delaware/Hayes) claimed two titles at the same NCAA Div. III Championship meet to lead the Ohio Northern women's outdoor track and field team at the 2017 NCAA Div. III Outdoor Track & Field National Championships at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio.

Group piano offers a fantastic opportunity to be involved in music-making that develops overall musicianship while learning basic piano skills, according to Vicki Mills of Miss Vicki's Music Studio, Ada.

She adds: "7 and 8 year olds love to sing, move, create, and play... all aspects of a group piano setting that capitalizes on the sense of joy experienced in a social situation while learning how to move those fingers on a piano in a meaningful way!"
