Where in Ada might you find doors to "The Roar"?

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, September 20, 2016

By Monty Siekerman
Know where this exterior door is located?

Can't be the high school because Bulldogs don't roar; they bark, yelp, and growl.

Answer: Yes, give yourself a pat on the back if you guessed right because the door was recently painted to reflect Polar Bear Country, especially Klondike. He's sweet, but does he roar?

Yes, at all athletic events in the Sports Center. Go see!
