The 47th annual Ada Town and Gown Banquet will be held in the McIntosh Center ballroom on the campus of Ohio Northern University on Monday, Nov. 5, at 6:30 p.m.
The Town and Gown Association was established in 1957 by a group of townspeople and ONU personnel to develop and maintain a strong positive relationship between the village of Ada and Ohio Northern. As with each year, the honor of Distinguished Citizen of the Year will be given to an Ada resident nominated by fellow citizens.
Watch for more Ada cash mobs. That’s the word from the Buy Ada First committee. After a first-ever try at a cash mob on Oct. 16 at Reichert’s, the committee hopes to do a new one each quarter.
Fred Reichert told the committee, which met on Oct. 24, that the cash mob at his Main Street store “exceeded his expectations.”
The committee hopes to hold a winter, spring summer and fall cash mob in 2013. Locations are now under consideration.
In addition to cash mobs, the committee hopes to schedule three Music on Main events next summer. One was held this past summer and was received with great success at the depot park.

Apollo Career Center provided The Icon with details on its levy on the Nov. 6 ballot. The school is seeking approval of a 1-mill levy to upgrade its aging infrastructure, equipment and classroom space. If approved, it would cost the average homeowner about $2.50 a month or just over $30 a year.
A video at the bottom of this story shares additional levy information.
What will Apollo do with the money if the levy passes?
