Recognizing their quick action as a result of a Pitbull attack this summer

Ada police chief and mayor made a special trip to Celina on Saturday night.

They made a presentation to five Celina band members prior to Celina High School's football game as a result of quick thinking made by the five Celina students during a summer band camp practice at ONU.

Michael Harnishfeger, police chief, and David Retterer, Ada mayor, made the presentation on the Celina football field.

Here's announcement that was read at the pre-game:

To: Joshua Hole, Gabriella Posada, Conner Ewing, Daycie Hatfield and Marie Zehringer.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Homecoming at Ohio Northern University.

That means lots of things. Let's focus on one of those: a parade. Let's see, you need a polar bear, bands, cheerleaders, floats and a large crowd.

Saturday in downtown Ada had all those elements. Monty Siekerman captured many of the parade highlights and the Icon shares his photos with viewers.
