Ada loves parades, and one next week will be very special.
Vancrest of Ada has a special plan to celebrate National Nursing Home Week on Wednesday. It’s arranging for a drive-through parade on Wednesday, May 13. Here’s how it will work:
• Line up at the Ada school front parking lot from 4 to 4:15 p.m.
• Parade starts through Vancrest of Ada grounds at 4:30 p.m.
Open to the public, participants are invited to decorate their vehicles, honk their horns, make signs, play music, wave and smile.
Vancrest officials ask that participants remain in your cars during the parade. A rain date of Thursday, May 14, is planned on the same time schedule.
It's the season of high school and college graduations and the signs are popping up across Ada, reminding people of this milestone. Here's a sign proclaiming Sydney Hartford will graduate soon from Ohio State.
When this photo above was taken, the stately Brewer Block on Ada's Main Street was home to the Ada post office. The street was bricked, the Pennsylvania Railroad had a double track through town, street lights were relatively new, windows were more expansive and a taller building stood where Cole's car lot is located today.
Compare the earlier photo with the 2020 version below. The building has remainly relatively unchanged over the many decades since the top photo was taken.
