A fireworks display is coming to Ada on Friday, July 2, thanks to the efforts of several community-minded persons.
The free display takes place at approximately 9:45 p.m. launched from the Ada baseball field near the Ada park.
Here’s proof that a little spark can literally turn into fireworks:
Fireworks are not new to Ada.
In fact, a few of the donors to the upcoming display recalled reminiscences of fireworks, homemade noodles, and families gathering at War Memorial Park decades ago for a Fourth of July celebration.
