Funny thing. Ada's snowfall this season was nowhere until an exhibit of snowmen, snowwomen and snowpeople appeared at the Ada Public Library.
The exhibit by Ada first grade artists must have shaken loose the sky above Ada. This weekend, well, you know...it snowed and snowed and snowed.
The first grade artist exhibit displays much imagination. Viewers will notice at least one snowwoman with eyelashes.
Other observations from this art critic: The artists carry much tradition. For example, what are those black small circles in the pictures? They certainly aren't pieces of coal. Ada's coal yard is decades gone. Yet, there they are.
Ada Varsity Singers gave a special performance of this year’s show to Ada elementary students on Jan. 11.
Based on comments posted on Ada Bulldogs Facebook the performance was a huge hit.
“Little Red” (as in Little Red Riding Hood) is this year’s Varsity Singers show theme. Vocalists are directed by Scott Henning and instrumentalists are directed by Jonathan Lischak. Varsity Singers have 28 singers, 13 band members, and 4 crew members.
Oshra Gadkar, an ONU student, is choreographer. Aleece Al-Olimat, an AHS sophomore, is pianist.
Music and costumes from the 1940s-1950s era add nostalgia to this year’s show.
