The first day of spring carries lots of significance this year for members of the Ada First United Methodist Church congregation. It means construction is underway for the congregation's new worship home. Today West Highland Avenue, south of the church ground, was closed, which means construction will begin soon.
Sherry Welch of Northern on Main, holds a tray of Ada's most popular bakery item - newly named the "Ada Icon cinnamon bun."
Naming of the bun commemorates the second anniversary of the Ada Icon's existence. It launched on the Ides of March in 2012.
"We thought it would be a neat idea to identify something uniquely Ada after the Icon," said Fred Steiner, of the online website. "Northern on Main agreed and we are happy to have our name on this popular hometown bakery item."
