Ada's latest news

Members of the Ada Kiwanis Club participated in a service project earlier this week in downtown Ada. 

Members prepared and served the weekly community meal at the ReStore Community Center. The meal, consisting of spaghetti, salad, bread sticks and cannoli’s was served from  4 to 6 p.m. 

Members began preparations in early afternoon. The club served 28 adults and 12 children at the meal for a total of 40. The crowd, which was smaller than usual, was likely due to the extremely cold weather conditions.

It’s nice to find a photo of an Ada water tower and a little piece of the history of the community a thousand miles away.

There it was—a football for sale at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Lakeland, Fla., with one side of the package showing the Ada water tower and a brief history of the Ada-made Wilson football.
