Cruz-N-Ada set for Main Street - let's hold off on the rain

By Monty Siekerman
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.

The Ada Community Tennis Association will be conducting tennis
lessons and activities on Sunday evenings, July 22, 29, and August 5.

Ohio Northern University tennis courts.

sessions. No previous tennis experience is needed. The cost is $5 per
session. No advance registration is required.

Additional members in the same family can attend for a reduced fee

of $3. Racquets will be available to borrow or purchase.
