Posted by Fred Steiner on Saturday, December 28, 2013

Icon viewers:

2013 was a great year to take photos in Ada! Lots of events took place.

PLEASE OPEN OUR PHOTO GALLERY ATTACHMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY.

Over the past 12 months The Icon has recorded many activities in Ada. We've taken over 350 photos, showing life in our small town. As a look-back, we selected some of our favorite photos of the year.

Where do you start when you have over 350 photos to chose from? We've narrowed down our selection to one for each month - it was a tough project.

Please enjoy our New Year's gift to you, as we offer one photo from each month from 2103, plus a bonus photo.
