Dear 4-H members, families, volunteers, and supporters:
It is with a heavy heart that I share this news with you.
Due to ongoing health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the decision has been made to cancel all Ohio State University Extension in-person programming through July 6.
This includes all 4-H programs, activities, and events. Additionally, we’ve made the very difficult decision to cancel all 4-H camps through Aug. 31.
Although in-person programming is canceled, we will continue to offer virtual 4-H experiences.
The Ada Icon's bear hunt will post locations of the cuddly little guys perched in windows around town and in the countyside.
As of 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, viewers have reported addresses (and some photos) of four teddy bears. We plan to post the bears on a map for viewers to cruise town and discover these for themselves.
