Letter: Thank you, Chad Hays, for new "Scout Shed"

Girl Scout cookies are here! You can find them at local booths beginning this weekend, February 14. 

One place in Ada you will find them is at Hays Insurance drive-through, but there's a difference this year. Chad Hays, owner of Hays Insurance, has turned what used to be an ATM into a "Scout Shed," complete with heat, electricity, a bench and shelves.

The local Girl Scouts will not have to be outside in the cold at that site and you can purchase your cookies at the window.

The Girl Scouts and Hardin County want to offer a warm thank you to Chad Hays for this example of his community involvement.

Letter: Customer appreciation in January

By Amber Simon
Buckeye East Coffee Shop

We so appreciate our customers, especially during the month of January.

The three J’s are a known struggle for those in retail and small town businesses: January, June and July.

This tracks for the small businesses in Ada. We rely heavily on the college community. And with the college off for winter break until the end of January, it can be tough.

However, I want to thank our locals for pushing in last week. As we were still slow, we have climbed from the previous years. We are still in a season of growth and we know that is due to locals supporting us and sharing about us with friends and family.
