Homecoming at Ohio Northern University.

That means lots of things. Let's focus on one of those: a parade. Let's see, you need a polar bear, bands, cheerleaders, floats and a large crowd.

Saturday in downtown Ada had all those elements. Monty Siekerman captured many of the parade highlights and the Icon shares his photos with viewers.
