Just how many pancakes can you eat in one meal?

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, February 5, 2016

Natalie Walton serves up hotcakes at the Ada Public Library on Wednesday afternoon to Leah Conley and Dexter Woods during Pancake Pandamoniam.

Leah was content to eat 3 pancakes, not wanting to spoil her supper.

Dexter, on the other hand, was trying to down 15 pancakes. His record is 14, tied with someone else.

After today, he holds the new record. Natalie is youth services librarian. She organized and led 248 events at the library last year for those from birth to 12th grade. (Monty Siekerman photo)

How quickly winter weather changes in Ada.

CHECK OUT ALL THE PHOTOS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS STORY -

As we post this photo story temperatures are decent. But not so on Saturday. (Hope you didn't touch your tongue on the swimming pool chain fence.)

Ken Collins braved the cold on Saturday morning when things were windy - check the flags blowing in the wind - and about 27 degrees outside.

His photos show why no one is swimming in January or spending much time in the Ada Memorial Park playground.
