Where were you Friday at 5:30 p.m.?

Chances are you were on Bluffton's Main Street watching this year's Bluffton High School's homecoming parade.

The Icon will post photos and videos all week. Here's our first segment, from Jamie Nygaard.

The Ada Icon found Holly Metzger, Bluffton University enrollment counselor, looking for 2019 ONU grads who may be interested in pursuing an MBA or Master of Arts in Organizational Management degree.

The ONU Sports Center was filled with personnel from human resource departments from more than 200 companies, grad school, and government agencies on Thursday during the ONU career fair.  Click here for the story on Ada Icon.
