Consider:

•  the Ada Farmers and Merchants Picnic celebrated its 100th year,
•  the Lincoln Highway observed its 100th year.
• Zac Dysert, who plays on a 100-yard field, became a Denver Bronco.
   Stories and videos featuring Dysert attracted over 900 hits on the Icon.
• the Ada school levy passed by 100 + votes (actually 104 votes).
