The Ada Dog Park officially opens at 11 a.m. on Saturday. All dogs (owners, too) are invited to a brief ceremony. And, there will be dog treats for all of the puppies.
The Ada Area Chamber of Commerce will have a ribbon cutting ceremony. Mayor Dave Retterer and Ken Lauria, of the Ada Dog Park Association, will make brief remarks. Then, it’s playtime for the dogs at the new 100’ by 300’ facility.
There is a shelter house, trees have been planted, water is available...and plenty of poop bags are on hand.
ODOT reports two road projects near Ada for the week of June 25. They are:

One word best describes the Boston Crusaders performance: Excitement.
The theme “S.OS.” effectively portrays the sad state of affairs of a group of people who become marooned as castaways on an island. The dramatic music builds. The musicians and flag members act out their dilemma. The scenery of beaches and palm trees adds to the reality.
The Ada senior Citizens annual picnic will be at noon on Wednesday, June 27, at Community Health Professionals, 1200 S. Main.
Jim Boedicker will provide the entertainment. Chicken sandwiches, drinks and table service will be provided. Those attending may bring one or two dishes to share.
Ada area residents 55 years and over are invited to join the group for a $10 annual membership fee and participate in the twice-monthly meetings and activities.
