Everybody loves a parade and one of the biggest ones in Ada will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept 15, for the Harvest and Herb Fest.
Jr. Weihrauch of Arlington will be parade chair for the fourth year. He knows a thing or two about parades having headed up 7 parades in surrounding towns this year.
It’s not too late to enter the parade. It would be helpful for planning purposes to call Weihrauch at 419-365-5304 or 419-889-4315 ASAP, but he will accept entries from those who show up that morning.
About 50 entries have signed up so far. The parade forms at 9 a.m. in the Ada Schools parking lot and starts at 10 a.m.
