Photos and story by Monty Siekerman
Here, they are folks, giants in their fields:

• Tommy Laswordfish
• Kevin Duranteater
• Shaquille O'Seal

They (and one other who happened to eat a coach later) were on hand at halftime of the ONU men's basketball game on Wednesday evening at King-Horn.

Not a basketball shot scored, but the halftime entertainment scored many smiles from the spectators.

The giant inflatable characters danced, tumbled, then went into the audience with their antics.

There's lots of interesting fairy tale characters in Ada. For example, Sleeping Beauty showed up at the ONU Pre-school recently. This photo was taken during a play time at the pre-school.
