One of the busy places in Ada this summer is the public library. The summer reading program - complete with prizes - is in full swing. A young reader is entering her name in one of the prize drawing boxes.
So, you think you know Ada? Okay, where's this letter?
Welcome to Ada’s A-B-C Summer Contest.
Each week in June and ending in the first week of July, The Icon will post two photos revealing one letter (or number) taken from Main Street Ada buildings and structures. All photos were taken in May by the Icon’s official contest photographer, Bailey Bowers. The photos cover Main from College Avenue on the south to Highland Avenue on the north.
We invite Icon viewers to keep track of the letters by identifying each letter’s location. An entry form is attached to this story for viewers to keep up to date in the contest.
