And Ada is on the map!

It’s a heavenly weekend for garage sale buyers and sellers.

It’s Main Street Across America’s Lincoln Highway Buy Way Yard Sale Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 10-11-12, and Ada is getting ready for a flood of buyers.

The annual event in Ada is sponsored by the Ada Community Improvement Corp. (CIC), which is a member of the Lincoln Highway Association, and the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce.

A map of Ada garage sales will be posted soon on the Icon. The map will list sales in the village and in the surrounding countryside.

In addition, several of the garage sale locations to be on the map have already listed their garage sales on the Icon.

Obviously an Ada plate, the Icon spotted this on a Ford at the recent County Line Church of the Brethren car show.
