Dana Walters prayers were answered.

She organized a Gospel Sing at Ada War Memorial Park on Saturday, hoping for good weather...and the weather was perfect with temps in the mid 70s, a nice breeze, and plenty of sunshine.

Here, sisters Sandi and Kaylee of Alger were among several vocalists from Northwest Ohio who provided five hours of Christian music.

About 100 people enjoyed the music at any one time, sitting in the shade at picnic tables or in lawn chairs they brought with them.  Several in the audience raised their arms in praise during the songs. 

CDs, recorded by the various groups, were for sale as well as sandwiches and pop from the Fat Boy BBQ tent.

Tickets to music concerts can easily cost $50 or more, but in Ada on Saturday it was all free thanks to the vocalists and the effort of Dana Walters.
