About 50 motorcycles lined Main Street on Saturday afternoon when the A.B.A.T.E. Memorial Run began at Little Mexico in Ada.
Matt Haught of Botkins exits his Harley, one of many lining both sides of Main downtown.
The 120-mile run takes the bikers to five places during the day. All proceeds go to the local A.B.A.T.E. chapter to "remember our brothers and sisters of the wind and let them know they may be down but not forgotten."
Ada V.F.W. and American Legion sponsored Memorial Day services in Ada on Monday afternoon in Woodlawn Cemetery. Here are three views following the service.
Meet Calvin and Elmer in a golf cart. Calvin Fisher is the guy on the right. He heads up a free lunch and outdoor fun program, sponsored by ReStore, at the Ada War Memorial Park from noon to 1 p.m. every weekday all summer. Elmer sits in the golf cart to encourage kids not to drive or ride in the vehicle due to safety concerns. Also helping advertise the program are (standing, left) Caleb Chafin and (standing, right) Landon Dunifon. The lunch and games are for kids of all ages.
From the women's restroom at the old town hall, to its current location on Main Street, the Library has had many faces.
Celebrate with the library today and for the rest of the year, and stay tuned for its 100th anniversary events in 2017. For more on the Ada Public Library's history.
And don't forget to sign-up for the Ada Library's Summer Reading 2016 program. It runs Saturday, June 4 to Saturday, July 16, beginning this weekend at the kick-off from 10a.m. to 2p.m. at the library.
