Everyone knows there is yellow and white corn, but there is also blue and red corn. All four speciality varieties are grown by Denny Hensel and his family.
The various colors of corn go into producing Harvest Pride Tortilla Chips at a new facility built in Ada's industrial park.
Hensel and his family farm 1,700 acres of beans and corn about four miles east of Ada along State Route 701. They've done this for five generations.
Natalie Walton serves up hotcakes at the Ada Public Library on Wednesday afternoon to Leah Conley and Dexter Woods during Pancake Pandamoniam.
Leah was content to eat 3 pancakes, not wanting to spoil her supper.
Dexter, on the other hand, was trying to down 15 pancakes. His record is 14, tied with someone else.
After today, he holds the new record. Natalie is youth services librarian. She organized and led 248 events at the library last year for those from birth to 12th grade. (Monty Siekerman photo)
