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.

THE STORY -

By Monty Siekerman
Our little polar bear friend Bi has traversed the Village of Ada and now, in Part 3 of our saga, we find him throughout campus.

He finds Klondike’s in McIntosh, a buddy at The Inn, a sign pointing to Klondike’s den, even a place where people plunge into the icy cold water in February.

Follow him through campus in today’s installment.

Tomorrow — total polar bear country can be found at King-Horn/Sports Center. This town and campus is polar bear crazy, as Bi found out on his trip here during a harsh winter.
