USV beat Ada in total sales in a three-hour contest during McTeachers Night at Ada McDonald's. USV sales were $4,383 while Ada's totaled $3,540.

Early in the evening, it looked like Ada would win hands down since customers were lined up out the door and onto the front sidewalk when the clock struck 5 o'clock. But USV held their own and blew Ada out of the water.

The schools vied for highest sales from 5-8 p.m. on back-to-back Mondays. In any case, both school systems won. Ada will receive $1,700. The total for USV has not been determined yet.

Schools earned money by receiving a portion of food sales and coupon sales as well as money collected from spinning the wheel to win free food and prizes. Schools could keep all tips received, as well.
