Ada's dog show - an unadvertised feature of the Harvest and Herb Fest'

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, September 22, 2015

Dogs - large and small, with or without costume - annually parade up and down Main Street with their owners on H&H Fest.

Dogs are popular in Ada, especially when the university is in session.

There are a few dog-friendly stores, but on Fest’ Day, they own the street: getting a few pats, checking out other canines, nibble on some dropped crumbs.

Here’s a series of photos of just a few of “man’s best friends” with their owners on Saturday.
