Here's Ada's October calendar...and November's calendar
October and November in Ada – where do we begin? It takes four pages of single-space typing to tell the entire story.
It begins on Oct. 1 with a visit from the mobile dentist at Ada schools. Then, there’s the open house of the James Lehr Kennedy Engineering Building, followed by homecomings for both Ohio Northern University and Ada High School.
Don’t forget all the Halloween-related community events, library storytime with the Lima Symphony Orchestra, Ada Music Boosters Music Feast, parent-teacher conference, and concluding in late November with a breakfast with Santa at The Inn at ONU.
Darlene Bowers compiles the calendar for the Icon.
Attached below is the printer-friendly list of events open to the public in the Ada Icon’s Hometown Happenings.
The listing includes events taking place at:
• Throughout the Ada community
• Ada schools
• Ohio Northern University
• The Freed Center
• The Inn at ONU
• Public meetings
• Ada village service schedule
• Ada Public Library
