Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, July 25, 2016

Cinderella's visit to Ada on Saturday was a huge hit with youngsters 10 and under. (And with their parents who snapped lots of photos.)

Owners are Mark Southward, his daughter, Amanda Morrison, and Amanda’s husband Joe Morrison, who are from the Hardin Northern area.
