The annual membership drive for the Ada Music Boosters is now underway.
With the help of the Ada community, the music boosters are able to enhance music education and the performance-based programming for the Ada Exempted Village Schools.
The Boosters provided The Ada Icon with the following information:
We purchase choir robes, band uniforms, instruments, Varsity Singers costumes, props and music and support our State and regional award-winning winter guard, marching band and show choir.
The Hardin County Hootenannies 4-H Club are doing our group project, Star Spangled Foods and use the foods for our refreshments.
For each meeting, the group has a certain menu from the project that a couple members work together to make and the other members do homework, experiments and physical exercises.
This week Dylan and Levi Beiler made Snickerdoodle cookies. Dylan explained sugar was not available in large quantities in the American pioneer days and they learned to cook/bake with less. Levi shared how to measure ingredients.
