ONU homecoming king is our own Cortland Everhart
Cort Everhart, Ada High School grad, was crowned ONU Homecoming king Saturday at halftime of the football game. He is the son of Hardin County Sheriff Keith Everhart and his wife Tammy. Katie Kurtz of Toledo was named queen. Both are business majors.

A rousing and spirited ONU Homecoming parade travelled down Main Street on a warm Saturday morning.
The suggestion has been made that Ada change its name to Parade City. In the past 6 weeks, Main Street has seen Farmers and Merchants, Harvest and Herb, and ONU Homecoming parades. Upcoming are the Ada High School
Homecoming parade starting at 5:45 p.m. on Friday and the Kiwanis Halloween parade on Oct. 23.
Below, Emily Richards waves to the crowd along the parade route. She was selected as the parade's grand marshal and was accompanied by Jason Maus, track and field coach. Emily has brought recognition to ONU by being a five time NCAA division III champion and U.S. finalist in the 800-meter run.
Here are scenes from Saturday's ONU Homecoming parade:
