FROM THE ADA BULLDOG FACEBOOK - There are some very festival doors on Ada elementary school classrooms this month.
You’ll find a door decorated in a chimney-fireplace theme, let it snow, a Christmas tree, gifts wrapped, reindeers on the house tops, a singing reindeer, gingerbread men and women and even a Grinch.
Oh, and there’s an interesting custodian decoration that speaks for itself.

Fireside Fridays will resume on Jan. 6 after break. Entertainment varies from week to week. (Photo by Monty Siekerman)

Members of the Northwest Ohio Theatre Fraternal Association perform at The Inn at ONU on Saturday evening.
About 50 people attended the dinner theatre show that told of a family who lost their Christmas joy until they were visited by a an ancient, wise, and witty spirit who healed them.
The thespians recently presented "Shadows of Poe" at The Inn in October.
The group may return next summer for another dinner theatre performance. Acting out a scene are (from left) Nick Hyber of Lima, Debbie Briggs of Lima, Jonathon Hodges of Lima, and Joe Maurer of Delphos. Kedryn Roeter of Findlay is director.

Since 1990, members of the Ohio Northern University Support Staff Association have helped give names of area children in need to ONU staff, faculty and organizations.
This year the University helped 170 children.
The toys and clothing are distributed by Helping Hands Outreach Ministries in Kenton.
