FROM ADA ICON - Due to COVID-19 restrictions and health concerns, “The ONU Holiday Spectacular” has been canceled for 2020.
Although this decision is regrettable, it is also the only reasonable choice in the current environment, especially in regards to protecting the health of the many performers and others involved in this production, including Ohio Northern students as well as other members of the university and area communities, in addition to guests and theater staff members.
Plans are to again host the extravaganza in 2021 and beyond.
The Icons have 13 garage sales posted, as of Thursday morning, and the number continues to grow.

Garage sales are also posted on the Icon’s printer-friendly garage sale map.
