Why do you video tape trains coming through Ada at the Railroad Depot Park?
I've always been interested in trains, ever since growing up in Ada. I now live in Bluffton?

It’s Riley Creek Arbor, formed this spring by Gary Reese of Faith Investment Services of Bluffton.
“This arbor is associated with Gleaner Life Insurance Society based in Adrian, Michigan,” said Reese. “An arbor is a local service club, organized and operated by Gleaner members. Gleaner supports the arbors with matching funds and donations to charities of their choice."
Riley Creek Arbor held a start-up dinner on June 2 at Jeanne’s Kitchen.
