It was a “very, very” Merry on Main downtown Ada on Monday evening. The annual Ada Area Chamber of Commerce launch of the Christmas season grows each year, attracting young and old.
Consider:
• Over 375 youth visited Santa Claus at First United Methodist Church
• 100 youth goody bags from Liberty National Bank were given away at the depot within minutes of its opening for the evening
• 15 dozen cookies disappears at about the same time at the depot
