It looked like a circus arrived in town Sunday night with three busses and assorted trucks and trailers.

The Cadets drum and bugle corps are here for the second year to prepare their show for audiences across the U.S.

No, those debarking the buses are not refugees but are highly-selected performers carrying their personal belongings into ONU residence halls for their 17-day stay in Ada. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Horsie meet horsie...at the Ada Public Library summer reading program kickoff at the library on Saturday.

A good crowd was on hand to sign up for the program to read about horses, stuffed and otherwise.

For more photos of the event scroll to the bottom.

There were rabbits, chickens, K9 dogs, face painting and more at the library. And, inside there are plenty of books about animals, how to do face painting...just about any subject you can dream about.
