Ada loves a good parade

And, Saturday's Harvest and Herb parade was a great one

HERE'S 20 PARADE PHOTOS BY MONTY SIEKERMAN
The 33rd annual Harvest and Herb Fest parade flowed down Main Street on Saturday morning with many Ada and ONU groups represented on farm wagons, in convertibles, in emergency vehicles, and on foot. Several out-of-town marchers participated, as well.

Junior Weihrauch organized the half-hour long parade that traveled from the ONU science complex parking lot, down Main Street to College Avenue.

Kids love a parade because all of the candy tossed toward them. Most youngsters end up with a sackful of goodies without going door-to door in the chilly weather which usually accompanies Halloween.

The 10 a.m. parade brings many people downtown for the festival booths. Soon after the last unit passes by, the spectators flow onto Main and begin to perlustrate the vendors’ wares...and to meet and greet people they know.
