A new Bible study, prayer course will be held from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on Sundays from July 22 through Aug. 26 at the Ada First United Methodist Church, 301 N. Main. All are welcome.
Ken Collins camera caught some of the activity at the Ada/Kenton “fun swim meet” on Monday evening at the Ada Pool. Some of the events included the "corkscrew," the "doggie paddle," and the "dolphin" swim styles. Contestants also vied for the title of biggest splash. The winner was FUN since there were no timers or regular judges.
There's always something new - or, old, with a new look - being created at Fine Touch Furniture and Upholstry, Ada. Here's a custom-built ottoman, recently completed, with two different fabrics. Dan Garver shows the final project. Additional photos in this series show the ottoman in early phases. Photos from Fine Touch Facebook. Fine Touch Furniture and Upholstery is located at 153 N. Johnson St.

and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.” ―C.S. Lewis
