The Icon email inbox is a pretty busy place. While we search for items of interest to those who live and work in Ada and Bluffton, Ohio, we also receive many media releases and advertising inquiries at [email protected] and [email protected]. For the record, they both come to the same place; you don't need to send duplicate messages to both.
Below are 22 articles and 12 obituaries from among the 123 news items posted on AdaIcon.com in June 2026.
We have selected articles of lasting interest for this digital list and for in-house reading at the Ada Public Library, Heterick Library and Beatitudes Community Center. Have ideas for additional distribution? Email [email protected].
I would like to thank all of the writers, photographers, contacts and sponsors who helped provide free news for the Ada area.

Covering township meetings has languished at the top of my to-do list for several years. I am always ready to talk with individuals who are interested and available to work as freelance reporters for local public meetings.
To fill the reporter gap, I am looking for individuals who would like to attend monthly township trustee meetings and record the audio on a cell phone. The Icons cover Liberty Township in Hardin County, Orange Township in Hancock County and Richland Township in Allen County.
Use the new link above to find contact information for local government, safety services, volunteer and charitable groups, as well as churches in the Ada, Ohio area.
Have updated information or a listing to add? Email [email protected].
From July 4-6, the Icon websites will be in holiday mode, providing breaking news. Please continue to send us your media releases, questions, tips and advertising requests to [email protected] or leave a message at 567-400-4266.
