Ada Area Chamber of Commerce is working on plans for the annual Merry on Main, according to Health Cox, chamber president.
This year’s event is moved from the evening to the afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 5.
“This is the same day that the Hardin County Chamber and Business Alliance is possibly doing its parade, so we wanted to make this a fun all-day event for Ada and Hardin County,” said Cox.
“We have a lot of exciting things in the works and more information will be coming very soon,” she added.

The news this week of the resignation of Coach White has prompted me to write this letter. I am sad and somewhat angered that Ada athletics have gotten to this point.
My family, in one way or another, has been involved in Ada athletics since the late 1970s. This has included myself, my siblings, my children, nieces and nephews and now my grandchildren. Our family has participated in football, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer, volleyball, softball, track, cheerleading and even a bit of coaching at Ada.
So it is easy to see and say that we care a great deal about Ada athletics.
