Andy Stackert, an Ada Wolf Scout, helps at the Ada Food Pantry on Saturday morning. He is the son of Dennis and Amy Stackert.

The Scouts collected many sacks of nonperishable food when they went door-to-door on Saturday to replenish the pantry supply.

The food pantry is not government run, thus there are no restrictions on who can have free food. The pantry is open from 10 a.m. until noon on Saturdays and from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesdays.

Chuck Summers, whose mellow voice just finished singing “Blue Moon,” invites Anna Mae Spallinger to take a bow...and she does.

During his singing, Anna Mae exited her chair, walked to the front, and began to dance along to his singing the 1934 ballad, pleasing the 50 Vancrest residents who came to hear Chuck sing and play the sax.

Sommers appeared at Vancrest for the first time on Wednesday performing old songs, gospel, and toe-tapping music.
