Santa will pop in and out of Ada several times in the next few weeks. Who is minding the store while he visits here? Mrs. Claus and the elves, we hope.
Look for Santa at:
• ReStore from 5 to 8 pm on Friday, Dec. 4. Children are invited to "shop" for family members, but in this case the "shopping" is free. A child may select a free gift for each person in his/her family. And, the packages will be wrapped at no charge.

Ohio Northern rallied from a 16-0 halftime deficit to post a 27-22 victory at Franklin (Ind.) in the First Round of the NCAA III Football Playoffs on a wet and snowy Saturday afternoon at Faught Stadium.
The Polar Bears improve to 9-2 on the season and advance to the Second Round next Saturday, while the Grizzlies end their season with an 8-3 record.
Senior Justin Magazine ran 36 times for 153 yards and two touchdowns and sophomore Ricardo Johnson completed 13-of-17 passes for 190 yards and a TD to lead Ohio Northern.
Franklin was led by Chase Burton, who completed 21-of-44 passes for 290 yards and two TDs.

For $10, a purchaser received a unique bowl of their choosing and could fill it as many times as they wished from an array of various handmade soups kept warm in 24 crock pots. There was pizza for the anti-soup crowd.
