The Hardin County Pullers event proved popular with spectators...all 4,000 of them.
The 7th annual event held Friday evening at War Memorial Park drew competitors in five categories. The day dawned rainy, but the pulling contest went on as scheduled as the skies cleared for a nice evening by the time the exciting and noisy event began.

The Ada Kiwanis Club awarded five scholarships to the following Ada High School seniors at the Senior Awards Dinner held May 13 at the Ada High School.
Recipients were: Alexis Amburgey, Tessa Coulson, Cort Everhart, Quinn High and Gabrielle Roll.
An additional scholarship will be presented Hope Hazelton at a later date. John Berg, president of the club, presented the awards.
