If you enjoy the sounds of steel drum bands, you'll want to hear a free performance by The Wild Steelions on Saturday at Maple Crest.
The performance is part of Saturdays' town-wide Fall Festival. The Steelions are a group of Ada school musicians. They performed last Saturday at the Ada Harvest and Herb Festival. The Icon filmed one of their performances and it is included in a video below this story.
