The experience was the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Pathways to STEM.
Adelyn is the daughter of Andy and Danielle Althaus, Kennedy is the daughter of Kurt and Sabrina Longworth, and Ethan is son of Joe and Liz Smith, all of Bluffton.

The Icon spotted this plate - guess where - on a 1970 Cadillac. It was a display plate in the rear window of the vehicle on display at the Ada cruise in on Saturday. Owner is Cheryl Geer of Ada. A very beautiful vehicle.
