Can it be fall already? Yes, and there's lots of events going on in Ada in October and November. Here's the long list of activities planned in 45810 over the next 61 days. Darlene Bowers created this calendar for The Icon.

Other members of the court (not pictured) were Cindy Brown, royal crown carrier, Rex Hays, game ball carrier, and football co-captains Ken Amburgey and Bill Hawley.
Plans for the year’s Bluffton Blaze of Lights are underway. This year’s 28th annual Thanksgiving weekend event is Saturday, Nov. 29, using the theme “Happy Holidays!” The Blaze committee invites Ada groups and businessees to participate in the Blaze parade.

The Blaze is an event sponsored by the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce. Fred Steiner, chamber director, said, “Most people think of the Blaze as a one-evening event. It’s really the entire holiday season because several events take place until New Years.”
Another great Harvest and Herb Festival filled Main Street on Saturday! Downtown Ada was full of people, festival food, vendors and of course, the parade. Ada certainly put its best face forward.
This year, the beautiful flower baskets on our decorative light poles in the Depot had a light shown on them during the Harvest and Herb Festival. Many people stopped by to admire the flower baskets and donate to the flower fund. We want to thank everyone for the appreciative words and donations to the fund!
