Scrolling though Facebook this morning, I was utterly impressed. In the past three years I've been at Ohio Northern University I have never read so many great reports concerning the university or the tiny town it resides in.
Being able to call Ada home for 3 years now has been such a pleasure. While working at Target this summer, and a guest would purchase a Wilson football, I would always ask them "Did you know Wilson footballs are made in a Ada, Ohio?" Most of the time I would get a blank stare as if I were a crazy lady. However I now have proof. The NFL Facebook page has a video about this year's Superbowl footballs. This year marks 50 years of football frenzy. The balls will be gold in honor of a long held tradition in anniversaries. More importantly these special balls are going to be give to the young high school athletes and their coaches that have done outstanding things for the game.
Not only is Ada the proud producer of Wilson Footballs, but it is the generous town that host Ohio Northern University. A university that is ranked third in Ohio colleges. This is such an achievement because we are such a small university. We have great academics and an even better teaching environment as seen with the professor saying "Hello" every morning.
I love that Ada, and ONU are making moves and getting our name out there. I cannot wait to see what the future hold for this tiny town with a heart bigger than gold.
