Holiday concerts and programs, Santa visits, Christmas cookies making, shopping sprees for kids – it’s all part of Ada’s holiday celebrations.
And, in case you need to know the when, where and what, the Icon’s Hometown Happenings provides a pretty clear list of Ada’s events in December and January.
Darlene Bowers compiles the calendar for the Icon. You’ll find events from:
• Ada community
• Ada schools
• Ohio Northern University
• The Freed Center
• The Inn at ONU
• Ada public meetings
• Ada village service schedule
• Ada Public Library
The Ohio Northern University cheerleaders and their coaches will hold a high school cheerleading clinic from 1-4 p.m., on Saturday, Dec. 14, at Kinghorn Sports Center on the ONU campus.
The clinic is open to those grades 9-12. Deadline to register is Dec. 10.
Participants will work with ONU cheerleaders to learn chants, jumps, advanced stunting and tumbling techniques, and a dance created specifically for the clinic.
Participants will also perform with the ONU cheerleaders during the first half and halftime show of the ONU vs. Capitol basketball game.
Beatitudes, 210 N. Main St., has teamed with the Ada Lions Club and Ada VFW Post 9381 for a free Thanksgiving dinner open to the public.
This year’s dinner is moved from Beatitudes to the Ada VFW Hall, 2147 State Route 235, and the Lions will sponsor the dinner. Serving time is from 4 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 26 (in place of the regularly-scheduled crockpot Tuesday).
And, during Thanksgiving week, Beatitudes will be closed Wednesday through Sunday, Nov. 27 to Nov. 30.
