The Ada Public Library sponsored a pumpkin pickin' time and hayride at Suter's on Thursday morning. The weather was perfect for the fall, outdoor outing.
Meet Crater. Crater is a 1 year old neutered male dachsund mix. He weighs 18 pounds. Can you give Crater his forever home?
To give a dog a forever home, contact the Hardin County dog shelter. It is located at 49 Jones Road on the west side of Kenton.
Hours: 9 am to 4 pm on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. Phone: 419-674-2209.
Generally, about 20 to 25 dogs are available for viewing.
The shelter is also the place to contact for giving up a dog, if you find a lost or stray dog, or if you come in contact with a vicious dog. It costs $20 to surrender a dog, which pays for deworming and immunizations for when it is rescued.
All of those interested in helping to start the Ada Historical Society are invited to meet at 6:30 p.m. on Monday at the Ada Public Library.
The group has met twice before and discussed a constitution, nonprofit status, elected three out of eight of the officers, and are considering a dues structure and other organizational matters. To be determined: projects and who will head them up. Your ideas are welcome.
So far, 13 people are involved in getting the Historical Society underway. They represent a good cross section of the community: young and old, longtime residents and newcomers, men and women, etc. Your input is welcome.
State Route 309 between township Road 25 and county Road 35, north of Alger, will close Oct. 31 for two weeks for the replacement of three culverts. Traffic is detoured onto state Route 235, state Route 81 and I-75 back to state Route 309. Work is being performed by the ODOT Hardin County maintenance garage.
State Route 117 just south of Roundhead closed Oct. 25 for approximately three weeks for a culvert replacement. Traffic will be detoured onto state Route 235 and U.S. 33 back to state Route 117. Work is being performed by VTF, Celina.
The ONU trick or treat gathering of gouls (and a school bus) on Tuesday drew more than 200 kids plus parents to McIntosh Center for registration.
The Halloweeners were divided into small groups to go to residence halls to beg for candy, then returned to McIntosh for a free hotdog meal and costume contest in the ballroom. The outing was organized by the office of residence life.
