Ada's latest news

July 8 MEDIA RELEASE__The Ada Athletic Boosters are preparing for the publication of the 2025-2026 Fall & Winter sports programs and would like your help. We hope that you will choose to support the endeavors of Ada’s Student Athletes by purchasing an ad this year.

The ads help underwrite the costs of publications of the programs, provide additional funds for the teams, and highlight our student athletes. The advertisements also provide you with the opportunity to reach potential customers from the neighboring areas.

See the attached letter for more details.

I'm on a mission: to add as many local menus as possible for restaurants, carryouts, food trucks and caterers to BOTH Ada Icon and Bluffton Icon.

Call me at 567-400-4266 for promotional rates good through August 31. Because we're all hungry!

--Paula Scott, Icon editor

www.SuperCuteDresses.com/ is an online shop owned by Luke and Kariann Ringger of rural Bluffton. The business sells nursing dresses to mothers and dresses to women of all shapes and sizes. The business started back in July 2022 from their home.

Kariann learned how to buy and sell on Facebook out of necessity, because that’s how she could afford clothes. While Luke was in seminary getting his masters, Kariann would resell cloth diapers on Facebook to help with family finances.

FROM FOOD PANTRY ON FACEBOOK__We’ve recently received large donations of produce harvested from gardens at Allen-Oakwood Correctional Institution in Lima.

The incarcerated population has raised potatoes, snap peas, green beans, beets, lettuce and zucchini.

Thank you AOCI staff for bringing over so many fresh vegetables!
