The McGuffey Memories Historical Society submitted the follow letter thanking participants in the August 28 celebration of McGuffey's 125th anniversary.
The Ada VFW started our festivities with raising the flag and honoring lost soldiers. We were located in the USV school parking lot. The USV teacher’s union created games for the children. We had a pet photo contest, a children’s train, face-painting by CEF, goats to pet, and 4 bounce houses. McGuffey Church of Christ provided free ice cream and McGuffey Freewill Baptist provided free juice and water for the children.
