Liberty Conservation Club will be hoppin' this weekend with their monthly fish fry on Saturday and annual fishing derby set for Sunday.

The fry, which features fish and chicken, is open to the public. Cost is $8 for all you can eat.

The popular fry is held the second Saturday of each month, except August, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Sunday's fishing derby will feature $1,000 worth of fish that have been added to those already there. Some of the added fish, mostly cat and pan fish, have been tagged.

Ada fourth graders may open the village's next restaurant.

Steiner describes the clay food project this way: "Students were asked to choose what food they wanted to make, practice making it with modeling clay, and then create it.  After it was fired they painted them to resemble the actual food.  

Below are some of the results.
