Weather cooperates for trick-or-treat night
Photos and story by Monty Siekerman
A dinosaur, a giant bat, and even The Cat in a Hat enjoyed Halloween in Ada on Thursday evening.
Nice weather drew a large crowd of trick or treaters downtown and door-to-door throughout the community. There was popcorn at ReStore, pizza and cookies at the library, hotdogs at the fire department and Tavern 101, and big candy bars at the police station for the beggars, large and small.
Those who purchased costumes or cane up with creative ideas on their own, got their money’s worth this week. Several days of good weather brought out many trick or treaters for the Kiwanis Club event on Monday, for the ONU activities on Tuesday, and for the village Halloween on Thursday.
