It's the Spring Fever Follies. The Icon attended this year's production, which took place in the Ada school auditorium on Friday evening. Bailey Bowers captured the evening with several photos.
Icon viewers can look at those photos in the attachment at the bottom of this story.
Members of the Ohio Northern University marching band performed highlights of their past seasons at the Ada Train Depot Park Friday night. Here are some views of the outdoor concert.
Ada 6-12th grade band members will combine for the premiere performance of “Vision Quest” to conclude the 5th-8th grade band and 6-8th grade choir concert Monday, May 19, at 7 p.m. in the Ada school auditorium.
This will be the first public performance of the piece commissioned and paid for by the Ada Music Boosters. Composed by Ohioan James Swearingen, this contest-style piece begins with a slow lyrical section which grows into a faster, more aggressive second section.
The Ada Tree Commission participated in the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce’s second annual Spring Event held May 3.
Commissioners were on hand to talk to people about trees and plants. While the windy day provided a challenge for handing out brochures, the commissioners persevered and handing out information on proper mulching techniques, invasive insects, and games to help families become Beetle Buster Families.
The highlight of the event for the commission was the planting of a red oak tree in the park. The tree was provided, and with a little help, the commissioners provided the labor.

What a difference a week makes!
The fields are drying and the dust is flying as area farmers are taking advantage of the warmer weather and improved planting conditions. This morning we planted our Hardin County Corn Population Plot off of County Road 110, near Alger.
Thanks to Paul Ralston for cooperating with this OSU Extension research as we planted over 40 acres with 6 different population treatments of 23,000/28,000/33,000/38,000/43,000/48,000 and replicated this randomly in four different sets.
