Ada Community Improvement Corp. (CIC) holds its quarterly meeting at noon, Wednesday, July 24, in the Ada depot, according to Eileen Peterman of the village.
CIC's most recent meeting was April 24. According to the Ohio Revised Code, community improvement corporations serve as economic development arms for the governmental body they serve.
In that way, a CIC advances, encourages and promotes industrial, economic, commercial and civic development in a community.
Seventy-six vehicles, including many V-8s that guzzled lead gas a long time ago, came to Ada on Saturday. It was the Ada VFW's 5th annual Ada Cruz-In. Here's a list of winners, provided by Win Hauenstein. Several winner photos are below.

The Icon spotted this plate - guess where - on a 1970 Cadillac. It was a display plate in the rear window of the vehicle on display at the Ada cruise in on Saturday. Owner is Cheryl Geer of Ada. A very beautiful vehicle.
