January 2025

We so appreciate our customers, especially during the month of January.

The three J’s are a known struggle for those in retail and small town businesses: January, June and July.

This tracks for the small businesses in Ada. We rely heavily on the college community. And with the college off for winter break until the end of January, it can be tough.

However, I want to thank our locals for pushing in last week. As we were still slow, we have climbed from the previous years. We are still in a season of growth and we know that is due to locals supporting us and sharing about us with friends and family.

From the Ada Academic Boosters

With the cold weather comes inside recess. The Ada Academic Boosters are helping students and staff with some new entertainment with the support of community members. They have established an Amazon registry for board games, puzzles and cards.

The registry closes on January 19. Items will automatically be mailed to the Boosters' president and delivered to classrooms next week.
