You’ll love the entertainment at this Saturday’s Ada Harvest and Herb Festival. The performance stage is in the Cole Motor parking lot. All entertainment is free.
It starts with a guitar duo, hands off to a steel drum band and finishes with an America’s Got Talent contestant.
But first, it begins with the singing of The National Anthem by Haley Crouse, Ada High School graduate. Following Crouse, the 2016 Harvest and Herb Festival queen will be crowned.
Here’s the entertainment schedule:
• 1 p.m. - Jim Boedicker and Mike Wright
Local musicians Jim Boedicker and Mike Wright launch musical entertainment at the festival. Both need little introduction as they are from the Ada community. The multi-talented musicians sing and perform on guitars and banjos. Their musical selection covers a wide range from pop, country, sacred to their own compositions.
• 2 p.m. - Wild Steelions
They are a steel drum band comprised of 11- to 15-year-old musicians. They play a variety of traditional steel drum tunes as well as steel drum variations of well-known pop hits (All About That Base, Can't Touch This, and others).

• 3 p.m. - Raegan Cox
Cox, 12, is a 7th grade at Miller City New Cleveland School.
In 5th grade, Raegan auditioned and was accepted in an All-State Choir and performed with 88 other Ohio 4th and 5th graders at Capital University. In the fall of 2015, Raegan submitted an online audition to America’s Got Talent. The producers contacted her the next day, inviting her to perform a live audition in Detroit in November.
Raegan was notified early spring that she would not be moving to the finals, however, AGT producers told her she is very talented and to keep practicing. She has performed at nursing homes, for the Liberty National Bank’s annual shareholder event and at other special events.
