A COPY OF THE OHIO MAGAZINE
ARTICLE IS ATTACHED BELOW -

The monthly "Ohio Magazine" published an article in the current issue (January 2018) about the Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival. The 2/3 page story, with a photo of Wynn Hauenstein's 10-foot-long, lighted football, is found on page 6.

The article quotes Mayor Dave Retterer and a festival organizer Amy Hilan (she and her husband Mark own the Easter House B&B). The story is titled, "Super Bowl Fun Day" and subtitled "The city of Ada, home of the Wilson football factory that makes footballs for every NFL game including the biggest matchup of the season, celebrates its pigskin heritage."
