Local treats for your sweetheart

Traditional and non-traditional Valentine's Day gifts
Posted by Paula Scott on Friday, February 11, 2022

This year Valentine's Day falls on a Monday. If you have yet to get something for your sweetheart, you don't need to leave town to find a traditional or non-traditional gift.

The Icon took a quick tour around Ada's downtown, asking for tips and snapping photos. There are more options than you can visit in an afternoon (once you get chatting). Here's where we dropped in:

#1 Ruthie's Boarding Room, 220 N. Main. Lots of gifts including candles, candy, decorative items, etc. The shop even has a man cave corner.

#2 Beatitudes, 210 N. Main. In additional to holiday-themed displays, the thrift shop has a good stock of Valentine's Day cards.

Mike Springer, Quality Manager, took the Icon on a tour and provided us with the following update on the facility as well as Super Bowl preparations and promotions.
