Judith Ovando Wins December #myAda Contest

Congratulations to the December #myAda photo/video contest winner, Judith Ovando. Judith's picture of her children enjoying the winter weather in their backyard, shows why families choose to locate in our area.

"Ada is my second home. I'm from Dallas, but this is where we've planted roots." explained Judith when sharing what her picture and #myAda mean to her, "This is where our children have grown up, and this is our home."

"Since June the Ada Jobs Foundation has sponsored the #myAda photo and video contest," stated Jim Eldridge, Economic Development Specialist for the Ada Jobs Foundation. "I have been impressed by the number of great pictures and responses. Wherever they were from, each month's winner described how they had a strong sense of connection to home in Ada. I think this sense of being connected is part of what makes Ada so unique."
