FROM FACEBOOK_Those wanting to start a garden this year can now get free seeds from the Ada Flea Market, 111 N. Main. The market has set up a Community Seed Library where residents can bring any extra seeds they have and take some they may need.
The Ada business notes, “Take a few seeds, grow something good, and if you’ve got extras down the road, feel free to bring some back to share. No pressure—just a simple way to help each other out and get more gardens growing around town.”
MEDIA RELEASE — Fifteen Ohio 4-H teens recently traveled to Greece as part of the Ohio 4-H Global Immersion Project, spending much of their experience in Thessaloniki at the American Farm School, a historic educational institution focused on agriculture, experiential learning, and leadership development. From April 20–30, participants engaged in international experiences centered on leadership, agriculture, service, cultural exchange, and global learning.
Among the participants was Mariann Woodruff, a 4-H member from HardinCounty, who represented their community while engaging in hands-on learning and global service.
Readers of the Icon's public meetings reports know that every year the Village of Ada makes plans for repaving village streets. So when were Ada's streets first paved? Photos from the collection of Leland Crouse show the big job was undertaken in the early 1900s.
