A mom-to-mom sale is planned from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, April 13, in the Ada Depot, 112 Central Ave.
The sale will include gently used baby and child items, such as clothing, toys, games, shoes, bedding, bottles, and maternity items (such as clothes and breast pumps).
Canvassers will knock on Ada voter doors this week asking for signatures to place a voter-initiative on the November ballot.
The effort intends to replenish the Ohio Local Government Fund. If enough signatures are gathered and voters agree, the initiative places a surcharge on all Ohio vehicle owners who have vanity license plates, specialty plates, historical vehicle plates and motorcycle plates.
Although not yet confirmed, surcharge discussions range anywhere from $25 to $75 per plate, depending on the make, model and year of the vehicle, retroactive to 2013.
