For the first time in over five years, area residents are invited to a Bluffton business expo where they can view products and services of over 21 local businesses.
Ada area businesses are invited to have a table at the expo.
With 21 businesses signed up and more anticipated, it's the Bluffton Oscars Mix and Mingle business expo, at The Centre on Thursday, March 24.
Tawa Tree Service in Ottawa was in town on Wednesday to structure trim 100 Bradford pear trees along Main Street. Some of the ornamental pears have suffered from fire blight the past couple of years; two dead trees have been removed.
The trees were trimmed to try to keep them healthy so all of the trees do not need to be replaced. The damage from fire blight is partially determined by the type of spring weather we will have.
Heather Cox of Liberty National Bank gives an update on Buy Ada First, the buy local arm of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce. The chamber met on March 16. Watch the Icon for updates on Buy Ada First activities in 2016.
We thought kids were the only people who climb trees. So do adults.
Our feature photo on the top of the home page, from Monty Siekerman, shows the Tawa Tree Service at work in Ada. Here's a couple more views thanks to a zoom lens.

During Tuesday's election, Mara Guyton, an 18-year-old senior at Ada High School, was elected Democrat precinct representative for Liberty Township. She ran unopposed.
Here, Mara (left) and twin sister Olivia hold a bouquet of flowers from the Democrat legacy dinner which they attended recently in Columbus.
Mara was Olivia's campaign manager for Homecoming attendant, so, naturally, Olivia was Mara's campaign manager for precinct committee person.
Mara has high hopes...to some day be a U.S. Senator. She says she has been interested in government and politics since she was 6 years old. Sister Olivia plans to be a nurse.
