Ada gets dressed up for Halloween
Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
Perfect Halloween weather brought out many trick or treaters in Ada for two hours on Thursday evening.
LOTS OF PHOTOS BELOW -
Lots of treats were handed out; there were too many smiling faces for any tricksters. Main Street was the "in" place to be with hotdogs, juice, cookies, popcorn and lots of wrapped candy for ghosts and goblins of all sizes and ages.
Vancrest was another popular stop where kids could load up on handful of candy from the many residents who sat in a semicircle to greet the children and fill their bags.
Yes, Vancrest stockpiled 400 pounds of candy for the visitors. ReStore handed out 600 bags of popcorn. The Kiwanis Club was stuck with a lot of candy since the parade they annually sponsor was washed out.
So, club members handed out the candy on Thursday and the sweets were gone in a flash because Main Street was a busy place.
