By 8 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29, hundreds of people will be in a line near Wilson Sporting Good Co. factory on East Liberty Street. They are there to get bargains on footballs, basketballs, baseball gloves, golf and tennis items, and equipment for many other sports.
The sale runs from 8 a.m. until noon for parents and grandparents looking for Christmas gifts for kids, for coaches, and for many other reasons. Is the sale worth going to? The hundreds of people who attend will attest to the fact that, “Yes it is.”
Spider webs are more apparent this time of year, especially on a moist, foggy morning. The boxwood at Liberty National Bank showed the handiwork of spiders building their traps to catch a meal. Spiders are beneficial because they feed on insects that are pests. Cobwebs are intricate marvels of engineering, beautiful and strong. Halloween is about a month away, but by then a cold freeze will have either killed the arachnids or forced then into hibernation mode.

Dogs enjoyed the Harvest and Herb Fest, as well as their owners. It’s a day for puppies to see lots of sights and smells from the aroma of funnel cakes to bees wax. A few dogs met up with their furry friends from the new Ada Dog Park.
Ada is not a particularly dog friendly town compared to other places. You’ll see “No Dogs Allowed” on several businesses. However, those working in the village government offices are always glad to see pooches.
