Ada welcomed the Christmas season on Dec. 5 with "Merry on Main."

The Ada Area Chamber of Commerce event included the opportunity for residents to vote on their favorite store front decorated window, hear some Christmas carolers, visit with Santa, see the Christmas lights in the Ada depot and enjoy several refreshments offered by downtown businesses.

Here, William Jolliff votes for the best Christmas window display at the depot. Collecting ballots are Ada Area Chamber of Commerce members Don Traxler and JoNell Hanratty (seated) and Jill Simmons and Dave Dellifield, who are dressed for the holidays.

Don, a longtime member of the county election board and well known Ada politico, didn't ask for a picture ID for this vote, all were welcome.
