The Cask Rooom vegetarian menu story - a huge hit on Bluffton Icon

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, July 15, 2016

Next time you stop in The Cask Room on Main Street, Ada, tell Jonah Agner that the Icon sent you.

The Icon team very closely follows social media trends from Icon viewers. We have Facebook pages for both Ada Icon and Bluffton Icon, for example. We use Facebook as our primary "tease" to pull viewers to either Icons.

When we have a story that's common to both Icons we really promote it. The Cask Room story with Jonah Agner and his vegeterian menu is a perfect example.

The Icon knew that our story on Jonah Agner's vegetarian menu at The Cask Room, Ada, would be a big hit in both Icons.

We underestimated how big.

Pokemon Go arrives in Ada - it's the nation's latest game craze

If you haven't heard of Pokemon GO, consider yourself a hermit. The free app, released just this month in only a few countries, is the most popular game ever in just a few short days.

In fact, you'll find people wandering around Ada, especially in the cool of the evening, trying to find targets, such as the train station, cannon, churches and businesses. There are many targets at ONU.

Here, Steve Cramer and his son, John, of rural Ada, find the Liberty National Bank target. Now they are after the Ada Theatre, which is held by Taurus and Snorlax.

Whether the Cramers defeated the others wasn't known at press time.
