Welcome to the future - and it's at Ada Public Library

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, December 9, 2015

Imagine a world where you can pick an object and then watch it form before your very eyes. 

What if I told you this technology has been around for years and is growing more popular everyday?  All it takes is a 3D printer and a 3D model of your desired object (which can be obtained via the internet or can be made yourself using 3D modelling software) and you are on your way. 

Welcome to the future.

Everyone smiles when Santa's in Ada - here's proof

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, December 8, 2015

Photos and story by Monty Siekerman

It was all smiles from the large crowd of children and family members who attended Merry on Main at the Depot on Monday evening.

MORE PHOTOS AT BOTTOM OF STORY

Due to a lack of snow, Santa hitched a ride from an Ada Police Department cruiser. When he stepped out of the car, many children's faces lit up as the Big Guy made his way inside.
He took his appointed place in a chair and began hearing the kids' wishes.

Cookies and hot chocolate were available, as well. Members of the Dance Fusion performed in the parking lot.
