ICON'S FIRST SERIES
OF PHOTOS AT BOTTOM -

Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl thanks to great craftsmen and craftswomen in Ada, Ohio, who created the footballs for Number LII.

Ada won the Super Bowl Eve Party II, just like it did the previous year as the Wilson football dropped at midnight on Super Bowl Eve.

The hometown party played out all evening and the temperature didn't affect the outcome. By 11:30 p.m. the Ada depot parking lot was rocking.

The Icon will post photos and replays of the festival all week. Here are some photos to get the ball rolling.
