Enchanting, engaging, enthralling are three descriptions that can be used to describe "Catapult," the Homecoming show at the Freed Center that played to a full house on Saturday night.
Eight professional dancers performed behind a large screen with their shadows forming all manner of objects such as animals, chairs, hearts, and flowers. Appropriate music was selected to accompany the scenes. Some of the themes were four seasons, life's milestones, and bullies.

On a bright, sunny morning several hundred people were lined up at 8 a.m. on Saturday to take advantage of the Wilson Sporting Goods sale that took place in a parking lot and warehouse near the manufacturing plant in Ada.
Name your sport: badminton, baseball, golf, basketball, tennis, and, of course, Ada-made Wilson footballs.

ADA - After spending 80 percent of its season on the road so far, Ada
celebrates Homecoming to kick off the second half against struggling but
dangerous Northwest Conference rival Columbus Grove.
Ada (3-2, 1-1 NWC) posted a 3-1 road record in the first half, thus down
the stretch the Bulldogs will host four of their final five regular season
games at War Memorial Stadium.
When asked whether being back home will help give his team a boost, head
coach Bob Olwin said, "I hope so. It is the last ride for our 13 seniors."
The purple and gold lost their lone home game so far in week three to LCC,
41-21.
