An initial meeting to form a local historical society drew great interest when 11 Ada citizens gathered at the Ada Public Library on Monday evening.
The group considered a name, applying for nonprofit status, discussed what history is located where, considered having a presence on a website and Facebook, and other organizational matters.
The group represented both local townspeople and the university: people who collect history, longtime residents, the ONU archivist, a history professor and student majoring in history, community leaders, and others.

On a bright, sunny morning several hundred people were lined up at 8 a.m. on Saturday to take advantage of the Wilson Sporting Goods sale that took place in a parking lot and warehouse near the manufacturing plant in Ada.
Name your sport: badminton, baseball, golf, basketball, tennis, and, of course, Ada-made Wilson footballs.
