Horsie meet horsie...at the Ada Public Library summer reading program kickoff at the library on Saturday.

A good crowd was on hand to sign up for the program to read about horses, stuffed and otherwise.

For more photos of the event scroll to the bottom.

There were rabbits, chickens, K9 dogs, face painting and more at the library. And, inside there are plenty of books about animals, how to do face painting...just about any subject you can dream about.

Once you graduate from Ada High School, you don't know where in the world life will take you.

For Joe Carey (right), life took him to Mansfield where he taught for 31 years then, in "retirement," he joined the Peace Corps where he taught in the Russia Far East for two years, then to Lithuania where he taught four summers, then to Kazakhstan where he taught a year.

Joe, Class of 1959, was inducted into the AHS Hall of Honors during the annual alumni association dinner held at the school on Saturday evening.

At left is Kurt Klingler, association president, who reported 120 people attended the dinner.
