ONU will hold children’s auditions for the “Holiday Spectacular” at 1 p.m.on Sunday, Sept. 10, in the Freed Center.
Auditions will be held for singers and dancers, ages 5 to 12. Those who are auditioning may be asked to sing and should be ready to participate in a dance call (jazz and/or tap shoes). There will not be prepared dance or vocal solos.
The Holiday Spectacular has been a regional tradition for more than 20 years and includes dancing, singing and skits. It is performed at both the Freed Center as well as in Lima.

Ohio Northern rolled out the "orange and black" red carpet. In banner form, it flies high above College Avenue as new students move onto campus this weekend.
Ada loves a parade. And, the 104th Farmers and Merchants Picnic parade was one to remember. Please enjoy Monty Siekerman's parade photos. If you look hard enough you might find someone you know here.
