Brittany Schrader puts the finishing touches on the holiday window display at, where else, McDonald's. She created and made the display herself from cardboard and paint. She used tinsel to make the trees. Brittany had the opportunity to take five art courses in high school, so she did. Painting on canvas is her favorite type of art. After graduating from Delphos St. John's HS last year, she took art courses in Toledo. Currently, she serves customers at McDonald's in Ada where her original artwork brings smiles to those who eat there. (Monty Siekerman photo)
