A new Bible study, prayer course will be held from 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. on Sundays from July 22 through Aug. 26 at the Ada First United Methodist Church, 301 N. Main. All are welcome.

Ken Collins camera caught some of the activity at the Ada/Kenton “fun swim meet” on Monday evening at the Ada Pool. Some of the events included the "corkscrew," the "doggie paddle," and the "dolphin" swim styles. Contestants also vied for the title of biggest splash.  The winner was FUN since there were no timers or regular judges.
