The Mom2Mom garage sale at Community Health Professionals on Saturday was a busy place with parents looking for clothing for their youngsters. Toys and furniture were for sale, as well, at rock bottom prices. From maternity to teen clothing, moms were searching for bargains because, in most cases, youngsters outgrow their garments before wearing them out.
The 15th annual Hardin County plant sale will begin at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 12 at the Hardin County Fairground Arts and Crafts building. Sponsored by the Hardin County OSU Extension Master Gardener Volunteers, there will be several Hardin County garden clubs and societies at this event that offers the public many choices of their flowers, bedding plants, roses, herbs, trees and various other potted plants.

Today is National Arbor Day, so it was fitting that the Ada Tree Commission hold its annual Arbor Day celebration for third graders at the school this morning. And, the youngsters received a white pine sapling to take home and plant.
Sixty-six third graders have been studying trees, how to grow them and their value. Emphasis this year was on destructive insects. Commissioners asked the children questions about trees. They knew the answers.
In turn, the grade schoolers asked questions of the commissioners, such as, “What is a pirate’s favorite holiday?” The answer: “Aaaarrrrgggghhhhbor Day,” of course.
Members of the Ada Tree Commission accepted a Tree City award from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources meeting held in Upper Sandusky. This is the 37th consecutive year that Ada has received the award.
