Dakota (left) and Slade Gossman, members of the Ada Barnyard 4-H Club, showed several animals during Saturday's summer reading launch at the Ada Public Library. Dakota holds "Wizzard," a mottled cotchen rooster. Slade holds "Violet," a blue chotchen hen.
The average temperature during May 2019 was 61.5 degrees. While most residents thought it was a rather cold and dreary month, that temperature was 1 degree above the normal average, which is 60.5 degrees for May.
However, to appreciate these stats, the maximum average temperature for May reached only 71.1 degrees, and – here you go – the average minimum temperature for the month was 51.8 degrees.
Theses weather stats are from Guy Verhoff, Pandora weather observer.

COLUMBUS - Ada junior Nora Dellifield finished 12th in the pole vault at the Div. III state track and field meet in Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium Friday at Columbus.
Dellifield cleared 9-6 and 10-0 in the first two rounds Friday. But she came up just short in three attempts to surpass 10-6.
Freshman Kenna Stimmel of Margaretta won the girls pole vault title with a best effort of 13-0.25.
Dellifield is the first Ada girl to ever make it to the state meet in the pole vault. She finished ahead of six competitors in the 18-girl field.
Just because it's summer, things don't slow down in Ada.

• Ada Public Library
• Community-wide events
• Ada schools (yes, more activities that you might realize)
