Kirsten Osbun-Manley sings the National Anthem to begin the Patriotic Pops Concert on Saturday evening on the sculpture mall at Ohio Northern. In spite of a heat index approaching 100 degrees at the start of the program, the crowd came, carrying lawn chairs, to hear the two-hour 4th of July concert by the Lima Symphony Orchestra, which is directed by Crafton Beck (right). More photos of the pleasant evening, attended by more than 700 people, will appear in the Ada Icon tomorrow. (Monty Siekerman photo)
