From 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 5, there are plenty of opportunities to start thinking Christmas as Merry on Main launches the season in Ada.
Here’s the schedule:
• View the Christmas lights at the Depot park
• Visit Santa and his Reindeers at the Ada Public Library
• Listen to Chris Grey and friends singing carols up and down Main Street
• Then, stop by the Depot and pick up a ballot to vote for your favorite decorated downtown window. Drop off your ballot at the Depot anytime between 5 and 6:50 p.m.
Quite simply, most people give to help others! The United Way of Hardin County continues to do just that, as it is celebrating 50 years of turning "Compassion into Action." The United Way has assisted 21 programs through local non profit agencies, supporting a broad range of human service programs. Among many of the services, our programs have provided scholarships, housed the homeless, transported our seniors, fed the hungry, mentored our children and improved health and safety to our communities.
