It was 40 years ago to the day...KISS came to Ada

You can pay up to $150 nowadays to see a KISS concert, but 40 years ago to the day, ONU students got into King-Horn gym to see KISS, The James Gang, and The Flock for a mere $5.

Pictured (seated) are Ryan Oberlin, Abigail Green, and Professor Jimmy Wilson talking informally with some audience members following a showing of a 33-minute documentary Saturday at the Dicke Building.

As a project for an historical geography class, the students interviewed several people who attended the long-ago concert and turned those interviews into a documentary. For Ada it was a wild night.

Ada art headed to D.C.

An ink on paper drawing by Alexandra Boyadzhiev has been chosen to be displayed in the U.S. Capitol Tunnel for a year. She is a junior at Ada High School, daughter of Kristo and Irina Boyadzhiev. She plans to study engineering after graduation. The winning piece was drawn when she was a freshman. The piece is titled "What Dreams May Come." She describes it as whimsical "with a lot going on." Judges especially liked her technical skills and amount of detail in the 24-inch by 26-inch piece. Alexandra's artwork will represent Congressman Bob Latta's district for the year in D.C.
