HERE'S 20 PARADE PHOTOS BY MONTY SIEKERMAN
The 33rd annual Harvest and Herb Fest parade flowed down Main Street on Saturday morning with many Ada and ONU groups represented on farm wagons, in convertibles, in emergency vehicles, and on foot. Several out-of-town marchers participated, as well.
Junior Weihrauch organized the half-hour long parade that traveled from the ONU science complex parking lot, down Main Street to College Avenue.
Kids love a parade because all of the candy tossed toward them. Most youngsters end up with a sackful of goodies without going door-to door in the chilly weather which usually accompanies Halloween.

Behind a strong showing from Junior backup quarterback Phillip Coulson, the Bulldogs opened up a 30-0 first half lead en route to a 38-6 Northwest Conference victory over the visiting Delphos Jefferson Wildcats on Homecoming night.
Coulson accounted for five scores in the victory, which moves Ada to 1-0 in the NWC and 2-2 on the season.
Speedy Junior running back Ty Miller opened the scoring for the Bulldogs early in the first quarter when he plunged in for a 1-yard touchdown. Senior Noah Mattson’s extra point attempt was no good, holding the Ada lead at 6-0 with just over seven minutes to play in the opening period.

Although we don't know the exact location of this photo, it's in the Ada neighborhood.
And, now we know how far from Ada is Lima, Alger, Kenton and Marion. Before the invention of the GPS, road sign markers pointed the way. In this 1931 photo the sign post shows:
• Lima at 15 miles, or is it 16?
• Alger at 3 miles
• Kenton at 13 miles
• Marion at 40 miles
