The Saturday midnight football drop launches Super Bowl LII, in the hearts of Ada residents.
The second annual “Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival” on Saturday, Feb. 3, will celebrate the village of Ada’s connection to the biggest football game of the year.

Our little polar bear friend Bi has traversed the Village of Ada and now, in Part 3 of our saga, we find him throughout campus.
He finds Klondike’s in McIntosh, a buddy at The Inn, a sign pointing to Klondike’s den, even a place where people plunge into the icy cold water in February.
Follow him through campus in today’s installment.
Tomorrow — total polar bear country can be found at King-Horn/Sports Center. This town and campus is polar bear crazy, as Bi found out on his trip here during a harsh winter.
Lima’s Habitat ReStore seeks volunteers to help move its showroom inventory on two February Saturdays.
The move is in preparation of having its retail floor refurbished, according to Mark Suderman of Bluffton, who serves as the store’s volunteer coordinator.
He said that student groups from Bluffton University and Ohio Northern University are among volunteers who have already signed up to assist.
Up to 50 volunteers are needed each morning and afternoon on both Saturdays, Feb. 17 and Feb. 24.
On the 17th inventory will be removed from the store. On the 24th inventory will be returned to the store.
