Tickets are now on sale for the annual Ada Music Boosters chicken barbecue, always held behind the stadium, the evening of the first home football game of the year. This year the event will be from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 11, before the Bulldogs host LCC.

The barbecue is a major fund-raiser for the Ada Music Boosters. Proceeds benefit numerous projects for Ada’s instrumental and vocal music programs. Tickets are being sold now through Sept. 3.

Contact any band or choir member to purchase tickets, or call Dave Smittle at 419-230-8147 or Kelly MacDonald at 330-212-3215.

Priced at $8, the dinners include one-half barbeque grilled chicken, green beans, cheesy potatoes and a dinner roll. Cold drinks are available the day of pick-up for 50 cents each.

"We are again using BBQ Express for our annual chicken barbecue dinner because they consistently offer a high quality, delicious meal for our event.," said Smittle of the boosters."

Each band/choir student has a dozen tickets to sell. Additional tickets are available by contacting Dave Smittle at 419-230-8147 or Kelly MacDonald at 330-212-3215. Music families should plan to have all tickets sold and money returned by noon on Friday, Sept. 11.

Proceeds from this sale are needed for several important upcoming projects for the band, choir and Varsity Singers as we head into the new school year. Students are able to earn money towards their travel account through the sale of  tickets.
