Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, August 14, 2014

Some high-level painting is underway on Ada's Main Street this week. The top of the building that houses Beacon Realty,  208 N. Main St., is getting a new coat of paint. In our photo shoot, the Icon had difficulty trying to chose which view to post.

Grindell Masonry, Kenton, is the contractor for the job.

The spirit of sharing flexed its muscle this week in Ada.

Thanks to the efforts of the Ada Food Pantry the traditional Fourth of July picnic enjoyed by many of us will be celebrated by all of us.

For the fourth year the pantry board provided its clients with a “basket” of food associated with a summer picnic.

What’s in the basket? You know: hamburgers or hotdogs, buns, potato salad, corn on the cob and watermelon.
