FROM FACEBOOK__40th Harvest & Herb Festival vendor sign-up is now open. The Ada Area Chamber of Commerce has begun preparing for a "beloved Ada tradition that brings the community together for a day full of local shopping, great food, and fall fun.
"If you’re a maker, grower, artisan, or food vendor, we’d love to have you join us!"
Four Seasons Drive Thru, 205 N Main St., which is owned and operated by the Rick Hughes family, received the 2025 Business of the Year Award at the February 26 Ada Distinguished Awards.
The award was presented by Linda Mason.
Adriana Hughes told the Ada Icon that the location was formerly an old gas station. In 1997, Rick and Charlene Hughes transformed the building into a drive-through convenience store. Adriana notes this was “a love story” business. Charlene had been a stay-at-home mom and Rick made the business happen.
The downtown Ada building destroyed by fire at 125 and 127 S. Main on February 2, formerly occupied by The Cask Room and Viva Maria restaurant, is being cleaned up following proceedings initiated by the Village of Ada.
At the March 3 Village council meeting, Village Administrator Amanda Sears explained that the Village was allowed to make the location safe. Therefore, the Village contracted with John Amburgey to have the front wall knocked down and a fence put up around the site.
The property owner, Wyndham Enterprises Ltd. of Ada, subsequently contracted with Amburgey to complete the cleanup.
The following five land transfers took place in the Ada Exempted Village School District in February 2026 as reported on the website of the Hardin County, Ohio auditor Michael T. Bacon and Hancock County, Ohio auditor Charity Rauschenberg.
