Can you believe October begins on Thursday?

Ada activities remain somewhat limited due to covid-19 restrictions on meetings and large groups events. 

However, the Icon found several things on the calendar worth noting. Much of it is virtual.

Events include the Ohio Northern University virtual weeklong homecoming celebration Oct. 11 to 17. Two programs at The Freed Center are available to watch as a streamed event.

Several additional October events are also planned. Viewers will find these on the printer-friendly Ada Hometown Happenings October 2020 calendar attached to this story.

The Icon Hometown Happenings calendar is compiled by Darlene Bowers.
