Wilson Sporting Goods makes Ada famous, but at one time the building was going to be the home of the College of Engineering.

Reading carnival has Star War theme

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, May 6, 2018

Story and photo by Monty Siekerman
Youngsters love a carnival and parents and teachers love one that encourages reading.

The Ada Academic Boosters sponsor a carnival each year in the '86 Gym, as they did on Friday for grades K-5. Children earn tickets by meeting reading goals, and can spend them on games, popcorn, raffle items and, a popular one, throwing a wet sponge at a teacher.

Parent volunteers help, led this year by cochair Amber Simon and Lori Poling.
