Cinderella's visit to Ada on Saturday was a huge hit with youngsters 10 and under. (And with their parents who snapped lots of photos.)

Some youngsters were so enthrauled they couldn't speak. Others wanted to know where the prince was.

Cinderella has answers for every question and is just as charming in person as she is on the movie screen.

Her visit to Ada was during the Streamline Insurance Solutions and Wine and Design grand opening at 220 N. Main St. Ada.

Owners are Mark Southward, his daughter, Amanda Morrison, and Amanda’s husband Joe Morrison, who are from the Hardin Northern area.
