July 8 MEDIA RELEASE__The Ada Athletic Boosters are preparing for the publication of the 2025-2026 Fall & Winter sports programs and would like your help. We hope that you will choose to support the endeavors of Ada’s Student Athletes by purchasing an ad this year.

The ads help underwrite the costs of publications of the programs, provide additional funds for the teams, and highlight our student athletes. The advertisements also provide you with the opportunity to reach potential customers from the neighboring areas.

See the attached letter for more details.

I'm on a mission: to add as many local menus as possible for restaurants, carryouts, food trucks and caterers to BOTH Ada Icon and Bluffton Icon.

Call me at 567-400-4266 for promotional rates good through August 31. Because we're all hungry!
