The band has been organized now for several years and is taught by Dr. Sarah Waters, ONU music prof. Here's photos of their Saturday H&H performance.

The Ada Barnyard Farmers 4H Club, lead by advisors Chad and Jamie Hazelton, Rachael Underwood and Amy Stover, finished another exciting 4H year with the conclusion of the 2017 Hardin County Fair. 

Most dogs love to take rides, and this bulldog is no exception. After the parade the giant, furry pup could be found at the Ada Dog Park Association booth, one of the busiest booths on the street on Saturday. Many fairgoers donated to the future park, indicating great interest in having a park for puppies. The dog park is slated to be open next summer on East Lehr Avenue. (Monty Siekerman)
