Ada's Music Feast is more than toe-tapping...it's food, too
All the music you could eat was served all day long at the 38th annual Ada Music Booster Music Feast.
With more than 2,500 spectators, performers and volunteers, it is always a day to remember in Ada. This year's feast was Nov. 7.
Icon's roving photographer, Monty Siekerman, focused on some of the "non-music" participants. Those photos with identifications follow:

Ada Music Fest is more than quality, toe-tapping music...it is food, too. Here, Amanda Kelly helps Brigitta Hogan at a counter full of tempting sweets. When you have 2,500 people pass through the school doors during the day, you sell good tasting food, nutritious meals, and pop to keep the crowd satisfied. The performances begin at 8:30 am and continued throughout the day
