There's a lot going on in Ada this spring

April and May are busy Ada months.

First there’s testing at Ada schools, a first grade musical and a high school  musical. Ohio Northern University hosts a fitness competition, a 3K run/walk and several school-year end concerts.

There’s also the end of the school year with baccalaureate, commencements and alumni programs. Meanwhile at the public library there are board game days, book discussion groups and a teen pizza waffle day.

And, lots more.
