Farewell, 2015.

Certainly a year to remember. The Icon took hundreds of photos in the past 365 or so days.

We’ve chosen one from each  month to represent the year that’s quickly fading. Some of photos are news worthy. Others are simply fun.

We hope these 12 paint a picture representing of life in 2015 in a small northwestern Ohio town named Ada.

Take a close look. You might find yourself here.

Enjoy them.
