The grand march begins at 7 p.m. and is open to the public. Prom is held from 8 to 11 p.m. A post-prom takes place from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Story and photos submitted by the Ada Tree Commission
One of the cool things about being in the 3rd grade at Ada Elementary School is the annual Arbor Day Celebration.
Each spring, the volunteers on the Ada Tree Commission visit the 3rd graders to talk a little about trees. The commissioners share stories about trees, wildlife, and how to plant the bare root tree each student receives from the Tree Commission.
Tree Commissioners also talk to the students about what it means to be a Tree City USA, as Ada has been named for 32 years, and what it means for Ohio Northern University to be a Tree Campus USA, as ONU has been named for four years.

Here's a first for Ada - our own player on a professional football rookie card.
Vicki Wolke was Ada's first resident to picked up the card at Wal-Mart, which shows Ada's own Zac Dysert. "You have to buy an entire pack of cards to make certain you get one with Zac in it. The 100-card pack costs $19.99," she said. Adding, "It was worth it."
The front of the card shows Dysert is a passing photo. The flip side reads: 77

Representatives of the Ada Library will be walking around Ada downtown Tuesday between noon and 1 p.m. passing out free books to non-readers and people who don't enjoy reading, according to Amanda Bennett, director of the library.
It's all part of the 2013 World Book Night.
"We will be passing out 20 copies of Tina Fey's Bossypants (a funny autobiography of the actress' life) in the hopes of getting more adults interested in reading," said Bennett. "The books are free because authors have foregone their royalties to make this possible, this is also possible through the generosity and hard work of many volunteers!"
