It’s not Ada’s typical July.
Last year’s covid moved Ada to a screeching halt. This is a new year and traditional summer events have returned.
July begins on Friday with two major activities, unrelated, but both carrying Fourth of July weekend themes.
Ohio Northern University will hold its Lima Symphony Orchestra patriotic pops concert at 7 p.m. on Friday, July 2, on the university sculpture mall.
Not connected to the pops concert is a community fireworks display at dusk – announced to start at 9:45 p.m. – in the Ada park.
Several additional Fourth of July weekend events, including an Ohio Western Horse Association Horse Show on July 3 and 4, are scheduled, and details are in the attached July Icon Hometown Happenings.
Ada Public Library’s summer reading program will continue with many activities in July. The entire community event schedule is attached and is printer-friendly.
