Ada tradition reignited – after an almost 20-year lapse. Several hundred Bulldog students, faculty and fans showed up Wednesday night for a rousing homecoming bonfire held in the practice field at the high school.

The students danced and sang and texted to the music of YMCA by The Village People – can you believe that!

The cheerleaders and homecoming court performed several skits for the football team.

The Ada faculty, who were instrumental in bringing back the event, provided donuts, popcorn and drinks.

Pumper 51 and volunteer Ada-Liberty Fire Department members were on hand to start, control and extinguish the flames after the celebration.
