It doesn’t matter who wins this year’s NFL Super Bowl.
Everyone wins at the party in Ada on Super Bowl Eve. It’s Saturday, Feb. 3. The party is the second annual Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival.
Meanwhile, Super Bowl LII takes place in U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minn.
Ada’s Feb. 3 festival celebrates Ada’s Wilson Football Factory, sole supplier of footballs for the NFL, and Ada as the football-making Capital of the World.
Like last year, the event ends with a large football drop at midnight in the Ada railroad park.

If you saw reindeer in the sky pulling a sleigh on Monday evening, you may have been a little inebriated.
If you saw two reindeer munching hay in the Railroad Depot parking lot, consider yourself sober. The pair of well-behaved reindeer were a big draw, especially with children, during Merry on Main sponsored by the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce.
