Wynn Hauenstein expects a huge turnout for the car show on Saturday...if the weather cooperates.
He has been working hard the past several months passing out information to car and truck owners to encourage them to bring their vehicles. He has lined up many sponsors. His last task is convincing the weatherman to change the prediction because rain is a spoiler.
If the “liquid precipitation” holds off, as many as 250 cars and trucks could show up. He has arranged parking space for the show cars and the spectators all along Main Street.

Large machinery and piles of stone mean that another sewer project is underway in Ada.
A 36-inch storm sewer is being installed on campus near Heterick Library, McIntosh Center, and The Inn. A water retention basin will be dug south of The Inn. T
he project costs about $650,000 with the village paying for the engineering costs and testing. The university has agreed to pay for the rest. The current storm sewer is too small and is deteriorating due to age. Completion is set for Aug. 31.
