It's a pre-season festival.
The Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival, concluding with a football drop moved from Super Bowl Eve to the NLF preseason this year.
The third festival took place on Saturday and, despite a rainy start, ended with a large crowd in a festive mood in the Ada railroad depot park.
The Icon will post festival photos throughout the week. We start things off with the conclusion and will work backward. Here's Monty Siekerman's photos of the festival as the evening headed to the football drop countdown.
