Take a gander at these 2017 Ada Icon photos and judge for yourself. Have aliens landed and taken up residency in the Village of Ada?

One might think so. We begin with Joel Luecke as Mr. Banana, but he's helping with the Colleges Against Cancer at Relay for Life...or so he said. Check out some of the other outlandish Ada folks and see if you recognize them (maybe you are pictured).
