It was the first-ever Made In Ada Wilson Football Festival.
A midnight Wison Football drop from the Ada depot, plus a Saturday afternoon and evening of Super Bowl previews, a free football movie, tailgating and a 51-football give-away brought hundreds of fans to downtown.
It packed Ada's restaurants and proclaimed to North America that it's really a small town named Ada that makes the foootball go 'round.
The Icon was there taking photos, videos and talking to people.
