This year’s festival is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 16. As in past year's, it will fill Ada’s Main Street from Highland to College. Main Street will be closed at State Route 235 all the way to State Route 81.
Ken Collins caught some of the recent action on campus with these photos of HOBY leadership students arriving on campus.
Many sports camps take place during the summer, as well. The ONU students who do take summer classes do not nearly equal the enrollment during the academic year, but campus remains a busy place for others.
The camps and conferences help pay for buildings that would otherwise remain empty, supplement some faculty and staff salaries, and provide an opportunity for youth to visit campus and, perhaps, enroll when they graduate from high school.

Wednesday is Flag Day. What does the day conjure up for you? Freedom, sacrifice, pride?
During the past few years, the Ada Icon has featured homes in the village where the flag is displayed. Since the photos are taken a few days before Flag Day, these residences normally fly the flag continuously.
This year the Icon features institutions, both public and private, and one manufacturing facility. There were three homes we couldn't pass up, so they are included, too.
