That’s how Ada Rotarian Bill Trudeau and daughter Keli, an Ada eighth grader, described their recent trip to Australia, where they attended the Rotary International Convention.
After the convention in Sydney, Bill and Keli journeyed on to Melbourne before flying home. Keli took advantage of the opportunity to visit four Australian universities, no doubt dreaming of adventures that might lie ahead.

Over 915,000 people passed through the gates of this year’s Ohio State Fair according to The Columbus Dispatch. One Ada family was among the first day’s visitors.
Libbie Milks, with parents Beth and Mike in tow, participated in the Ohio State Junior Fair 4-H Non-Livestock Health Day. Libbie attended the fair to present her 4-H project, The Truth About Tobacco. “I used this as a follow up project from last year when I completed Drug and Alcohol Abuse,” Libbie says.
This is Libbie’s seventh year in 4-H. She has been a member of Liberty Belles and Boys 4-H Club for all seven years.

Our sign for the fair is closer to being done. Different goats are being painted on the 4-H clover. The wonderful artist, Sara Hoenshel, who is going to be painting them, was there to meet us.
