Here they are—members of the Red Hat Society exiting Viva Maria’s restaurant after lunch on Thursday.

Members of the Society—who now number 30,000 in the USA plus others in 30 countries—gather monthly...just for fun.

They wear red hats and purple clothing, because they can and don’t give a hoot if the colors are outlandish. They simply gather for fun: to lunch, see a movie or play, shop. The Red Hat Society encourages women in their pursuit of fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment and fitness in the quest to get the most out of life.

Band and color guard qualify for state competition

The Ada High School marching band and color guard earned "Superior" ratings in every area: general effects, auxillary (color guard), music, percussion and visual effects, at the Revere Minutemen OMEA Marching Band competition in Richfield on Sept. 22. 

This allows the group to participate in the state marching band finals at the end of October.  Superior ratings reflect an outstanding performance with very few technical errors and exemplifying true musical expression. This rating is reserved for outstanding performances.  Qualification for State Marching Band Finals is determined regardless of band size.

The first-ever Military Appreciation Night was well-received. About 100 veterans from all of the services attended. They were honored prior to the Ada High School football game Friday night at the stadium, which is appropriately named War Memorial Park. 

KENTON-Hardin County Soroptimist International participated in the parade for the Ada Harvest and Herb festival on Saturday. Not only did the club celebrate the festival, but also celebrated the KENTON-Hardin Co. Soroptimist International 50th year membership of member Eve Johnson-Timmons.
