Librarians were tarred and feathered in Ada on Thursday afternoon as part of the summer reading program's conclusion.
Natalie Walton (left) and Amanda Bennett suffered being covered with ice cream, whipped cream, syrup, cherries and TP, all in fun, to encourage reading among youth.
The day's activities began with a free swim at the pool for kids, then a picnic.
Later, there were a couple of librarians who could have used a free swim, as well...before the ants found them. (Monty Siekerman photo)
If that wasn't enough, young patrons turned Natalie and Amanda into human sundaes. View the photos below to see for yourself. (Human sundae photos by Amy Eddings)
