Who will win the Ada McDonald’s “Burger War?” It all up to the Ada community to beat Upper Scioto Valley, and that’s a tall order because USV set a record last week.
USV diners sold and served over $1,000 worth of McDonald’s food during the first of their two-hour stint last Monday. Ada’s turn is from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday.
Both schools receive a percentage of sales, and the winning school gets a bonus. Last year USV took home $1,000 for winning the contest. Ada received a check for $700. Actually, both schools added to their coffers, so both won.

Village Council, and it’s committees, now meet on the top floor but this is inconvenient for the disabled public, press, and council members to attend.
