One of these girls will be the 2017 Ada Harvest and Herb Festival queen. We'll know who shortly after noon on Saturday.
Each of the candidates is an Ada High School senior. They are, from left to right, in the photo:
• Caitlyn Stover, daughter of Curt and Amy Stover.
• Lyric Jones, daughter of Scott and Bridgette Jones.
• Madison Preston, daughter of John and Christa Preston.
• Nikki Lehsten, daughter of David Lehsten and Michele Giddens.
These girls completed three essays and participated in a panel interview for this honor, according to Arlene Allison, who chairs the contest.
Despite that this car supports the Bulldogs and one of the high school's color is purple - this is not an Ada car. The Icon found it on a trip to Iowa. It's on a 2004 Mustang.
This is Raven. Raven is 4 months old. She is described as very playful and loving, with high energy. Could you provide a loving forever home for Raven?
To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.
Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.
Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.
The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.

SPENCERVILLE - The short-handed Ada cross country teams competed at the Spencerville Invitational last Saturday morning.

Hunter Wells placed 70th in a field of 138 with a time of 20:37.9 to pace the Bulldog boys. Jacob Morgan finished 90th with a time of 21:52.1 over the 3.1-mile course.
