ReStore Community Center will be closed from Dec. 17 and reopen on Jan. 5 with a new floor. The $15,000 project was supported by gifts. About $10,000 has been raised thus far from gifts and fundraisers. Inclined to give? Stop by with a donation. (Monty Siekerman)
Santa makes several stops in Ada in December. Here's his schedule:
Look for Santa at:
• ReStore from 5 to 8 pm on Friday, Dec. 4. Children are invited to "shop" for family members, but in this case the "shopping" is free. A child may select a free gift for each person in his/her family. And, the packages will be wrapped at no charge.
• The Inn at Ohio Northern University from 9 to 11 am on Saturday, Dec. 5. Complimentary photos with Santa will be taken. Breakfast is $11.50 for adults, $6.50 for children, 3 and under free.
Eight Ada locations are on this year’s Keep Hardin County Beautiful Candy Cane Tour of Homes. Tickets are available at New Leaf, Ada.
This year’s tour is from noon to 6 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 6, and pre-sale tickets are on sale in Ada at New Leaf Garden Center and from Don Traxler, a commission member of Keep Hardin County Beautiful.
Santa and all his friends hang out at New Leaf. The shop, north of Ada, is beautifully decorated for Christmas and offers lots of holiday decorating supplies.
It offers cut Christmas trees, poinsettias and Christmas cactus.
Santa showed the Icon around the shop earlier this week.
