The Ada Marching Bulldogs began its 2014 competition in fine fashion on Sept. 20.
After arriving at the school bright and early Saturday morning to march in the annual Harvest and Herb Festival parade and opening the crowning of the queen festivities, the band traveled to Louisville High School, near Akron, for the first competition performance of the season.
The annual membership drive for the Ada Music Boosters is continuing throughout the fall.
A flyer was mailed to all Ada households in July and the boosters encourage Icon viewers to return it with a contribution towards this year’s fund-raising drive. With the help of the Ada community, the music boosters are able to enhance music education and the performance-based programming for the Ada Exempted Village Schools.
Here's an update on booster project from David Smittle, Music Booster treasurer:
Deb Curlis doesn’t hesitate when someone asks her where to shop. “Buy local,” Curlis responds. “You can find just about anything you need or want right here in Ada.”
Curlis is president of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce and the “Buy Local” Committee.
The 29th annual Ada Area Chamber of Commerce's Harvest and Herb Festival, tied to the Ohio Northern University Parents' Weekend and Wilson garage sale brought thousands of visitors to Ada.
