The date of Ada’s now-famous football drop is moving, but all the fun from the event continues. Previously held on Super Bowl Eve, this year’s Made in Ada Football Festival moves to Saturday, Aug. 25, in downtown Ada, according to Ada Area Chamber of Commerce.
The festival celebrates Ada’s remarkable contribution to the sport of football, as all footballs ever used in the National Football League are made in Ada’s Wilson Football Factory.
Japanese beetles are active in our area. These beetles are easily recognized by their relatively large size, about a half inch in length, and showy colors. The fore wings, also called hard-wing coverings, are bronze to coppery-brown in color. The head and the middle part of the body are a metallic green.
Japanese beetles are voracious leaf feeders. They have been known to feed on 350 plant species. Their favorite plants include rose, hollyhock, hibiscus, linden, maple, viburnum, grape, raspberry, apple, and cherry.
