The American Red Cross of Hardin County is helping a rural family following a fire in their home.

Volunteer disaster responders Daryl Flowers and Arin Tracy responded to a call for help on County Road 135 on Saturday morning.  They quickly assessed the immediate needs of the family and provided assistance for food, clothing and bedding for one adult and one child.

The Red Cross will continue to aid the residents as needed and assist in long term recovery planning with resources, information, and referrals to partner agencies.

Dogs - large and small, with or without costume - annually parade up and down Main Street with their owners on H&H Fest.

Dogs are popular in Ada, especially when the university is in session.

There are a few dog-friendly stores, but on Fest’ Day, they own the street: getting a few pats, checking out other canines, nibble on some dropped crumbs.

Here’s a series of photos of just a few of “man’s best friends” with their owners on Saturday.
