There will be a free showing of the film “Draft Day” at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Ada Theatre as part of the town’s Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival.

The 2014 sports drama film stars Kevin Costner. He plays the fictional general manager of the Cleveland Browns deciding what to do after his team acquires the number one pick in the upcoming National Football League draft.

DAY'S SCHEDULE OF EVENTS -

You'll find over 5 pages of events on the calendar

Did you know that the 100th day of the school year is Feb. 1?

It's listed as the first event in the February-March issue of Ada Icon Hometown Happenings. If you miss it, an elementary student will certainly inform you of this important fact.

There's lots more happening in Ada in the next two months. So much, that you'll discover it takes over five pages of single-spaced type to cover everything taking place here.

Darlene Bowers compiles Hometown Happening for the Icon. A printer-friendly copy is attached at the bottom of this story.

Ada seventh and eighth grade girls who are interested in playing softball this spring are asked to sign up on Friday at the high school office, if they haven’t done so already.

Ada skywatchers are in for a rare treat tomorrow (Jan. 31):
• a Blue Moon
• a total lunar eclipse
• and a supermoon all at the same time!

It's the first total lunar eclipse since 2015 and the first Blue Moon Blood Moon visible from the U.S. since 1866!

Today, Bi the polar bear explores Ada. This is the second installment of a four-part series describing Bi, the visiting polar bear from the Arctic, and his travels in Ada to find his friend, Klondike, the ONU mascot.

Yesterday featured photos of Klondike, a little history about him, and how he is helpful in Ada/ONU, but can be down right scary at sports events.
