The Ada Kiwanis Club began a yearly tradition in the late winter of 1952 by sponsoring a Pancake and Sausage Day at the American Legion Hall in downtown Ada. That tradition has continued for the past 67 years.
The event has been held at various Ada locations: the Legion Hall, the Ada First United Methodist Church, the Ada V.F.W. and in recent years, the Ada High School Cafeteria.
The menu has remained the same: all-you-can eat whole hog sausage and pancakes.
Planning for the 2020 event began months ago and tickets went on sale just a few weeks ago.
The following highway construction is scheduled to occur within Hardin County. Work is dependent upon weather conditions, and unless otherwise noted, it will take place during daytime hours.
State Route 37 between township Road 147 and township Road 149, approximately two miles south of U.S. 30, will be restricted to one lane on Tuesday, March 10, for tree removal. The work is being performed by Miller Contracting Group, Ottoville.
Family Zumba, student health screenings, talks about vaping, mobile clinic tours and a discussion titled “Hidden in plain sight” are all part of a special health-related program in Ada schools in March.
The initiative involves Ada schools in partnership with Ohio Northern University’s HealthWise Pharmacy called Dogs and Bears Get Fit in March.
Megan Stephan, pharmacy resident at ONU, leads the program thanks to two grants from the Buckeye Health Plan and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.

By now you have begun to see signs in the community asking you to vote for a renewal of a ¾% income tax. Mrs. Kim Light, treasurer, and I have had the privilege of speaking to various community groups about it.
