Once again it’s the Battle of the Burgers at McDonalds in Ada when Ada and Upper Scioto Valley schools compete for the most customers during a two-hour period. A portion of the restaurant’s profits go to the schools. USV won last year. Will Ada get enough customers to McDonald’s to win the match in 2018?
Since Ada went first last year, USV competes first this year. USV teachers and staff will be on hand from 5-7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 8. Ada’s turn is 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 17.
