The stoplight at this Ada corner catches each of us. At the next nighttime stop, take a close look at First United Methodist Church. This is what you'll see. And, this is how Kenneth Collins captured the building as the sun was setting last week.
A recent Ada Trike-a-Thon raised more than $500 for Amelia and another $500 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The benefit not only taught children bike safety, but also helped two great causes.
The effort was undertaken by the ONU Honors Program, ONU Child Development Center, and Ready, Set, Grow Preschool. Amelia, 5 years old, is fighting pediatric cancer. She is the daughter Beau and Christina Griffin. (Monty Siekerman photo)
The Bluffton Blaze of Lights parade, planned for Saturday, Nov. 28, is inviting area groups to join the parade.
This year’s Blaze, sponsored by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce takes place on Saturday, Nov. 28, in downtown Bluffton.
This year’s Blaze theme is “A Christmas from the Past.”
Earlier this month over 40 units were already registered for the parade, according to Junior Weihrauch, parade director.
Last year, for the first time ever, the parade topped 100 units. The Blaze planners hope to continue that parade size this year, making it one of the largest small-town parades in northwestern Ohio. Last year’s parade lasted one hour.
