Leaf pickup in Ada is in full swing.
Members of the village street department follow the schedule (below) as best as possible depending on the weather. Leaves have fallen later this year and the cold, wet weather has kept some homeowners from raking the leaves to the curb.
Hopefully, residents will have the leaves raked and the village will have them picked up by the first week of December.

Michelle Goslee, organizer of the food drive and craft and vendor sale at the Railroad Depot on Saturday, displays some of the canned food donated by customers. The food was given to the Hardin County Neighborhood Opportunity Center. Due to the current popularity of vendor shows, Michelle has formed the One Stop Shop to organize events for vendors. She signs up vendors, finds a location, pays the rent, and promotes the sale. A dozen vendors were on hand Saturday. The next sale is scheduled from noon until 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8 at the Depot. Mr. and Mrs. Claus will be on hand to greet the children and listen to their wish lists.
