We liked the dictionary definition so well that we placed it in the 2018-19 Ada Athletic Booster sports program. You'll see the sports program at athletic events this fall.
Here's the definition of a bulldog - read the ad - and an advance copy of the ad you'll see this year.
Remember, the Icon covers all Bulldog sports. You may follow the Icon on Facebook for immediate sports scores.
And, just for fun, we've provided our previous two sports ads below.
St. Rita’s Medical Center has received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Award for implementing quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who experience severe heart attacks.
Every year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the deadliest type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication.
Ada heads into a busy weekend from Thursday through Saturday, July 19-21.
Events include a downtown old-fashioned sidewalk sales. Six businesses are participating:
• Reichert's clothing
• Gallery for the Arts
• Whatever Cards and Games
• The Mercantile

Then, on Saturday, the Ada VFW Cruz-N-Ada moves to Main Street with vehicle registration starting at 2 p.m. Main will be cordoned off from 1 to 8 p.m. for the cruise.
Watch the Icon for more cruise details coming soon.

Many event organizers are happy to raise a few hundred dollars for charity while others aim for a few thousand; however, the bikers who came to Ada on Saturday raised between $100,000 and $125,000.
As temperatures approached 90 degrees and the heat index was nearing 100, the 200 bikers from the Dayton area arrived happy that they accomplished their feat. Applause and cheers from volunteers greeted them as they passed the finish line. Mr. Banana was there, and Jon Umphress let the siren rip as the bikers finished their day, all for good causes.
State Route 309 between the Allen County line and the Kenton will be reduced to one lane through the work zone for resurfacing. Work is being performed by Bluffton Paving, Bluffton.
