It's a mini mall of sorts. Six new businesses celebrated a grand opening Saturday afternoon at 4171 State Route 235, just north of Dollar General.
No department stores, restaurants, or shoe stores are located in this "mall" but you'll find much there.
First there's pajama day, then crazy hair and hat day. That's followed by twins day, formal dress day (can you believe that!). It all ends with spirit wear day.
The homecoming kickoff was a Sunday evening community pep rally at War Memorial Stadium. The Icon attended and shares these photos, taken by Monty Siekerman, with viewers:
• Pineapple upside down cakes were offered to pep rally goers. Eda Tanriverde, an exchange student from Turkey, displays desserts for those who have a sweet tooth.
A community pep rally, part of Ada High School homecoming, is set for 6 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 4.
The rally, open to the public, takes place in the Ada War Memorial Park.
Team members will wear uniform tops. Admission is $2 adults and $1 for students. This pays your way into the powerpuff game directly following the rally.
Lots of events are on the Ada school calendar this month. Here's a sampling from the Ada school website, plus several announcements for students.
