Meet Dexter Woods

My name is Dexter Woods. I am 10 years old and in the fourth grade.  Last summer was my first year in 4-H. I learned a lot and had fun.

4-H has kids of all ages. My club, Liberty Belles and Boys, used Parliamentary Procedure to make the meetings run smoothly. Everyone had to do a demonstration. Mine was on tying knots for fishing.  We also played games and had snacks at every meeting.

In July I went to 4-H camp at Camp Ohio. I got up early every morning to do the Polar Bear Swim, and I won a certificate.

Other activities at camp included creeking, dancing, archery and trivia. One night there was a campfire.

Ada residents in search of big city entertainment now need to look no further than Main Street Ada.

Reggie Keller of Ada opened Main Street Live at 115 S. Main St., earlier this month. If all goes as planned the new business will feature lots of music and stand-up comedy events at very affordable prices.

“Main Street Live will provide music and comedy shows and also is available for corporate events,” said Keller, owner. “If a business wants to hold a meeting in Ada they can do it here. In addition, bookings are available for individuals or bands interested in performing.”
