Ada's latest news

Three golden retrievers from Idaho and Columbus, Ohio, attended the final rehearsal of the Boston Crusaders. The well-behaved puppies enjoyed all of the action and sounds but couldn’t convince Jeff and Joy Good to stay in Ada until Saturday for the official opening of the Ada Dog Park.

One word best describes the Boston Crusaders performance: Excitement.

The theme “S.OS.” effectively portrays the sad state of affairs of a group of people who become marooned as castaways on an island. The dramatic music builds. The musicians and flag members act out their dilemma. The scenery of beaches and palm trees adds to the reality.
