Here's a report from Austin Hilverding, ONU student and Ada Friends coordinator:
On Oct 7 we had our first event of the year, the Ada Friends Kick-off Party which was a huge success. The party saw 59 out of our 85 matches for the year and many parents attend the event, and total attendance for the event surpassed 160 people by the end of the night.
The annual haunting of Ada’s Main Street and sidewalks takes place next week.
On Monday, Oct. 27, the annual Halloween parade sponsored by the Ada Kiwanis takes place. Registration begins at 5:30 p.m., in the parking lot behind the Municipal Building. The parade begins at 6 p.m. The Ada Area Chamber of Commerce and the Buy Local committee will also take part in the festivities with soup and pie cook-offs. Several area businesses will be open until 8 p.m., and horse drawn wagon rides will add to the downtown excitement.
