Christmas Parade

Tonight Peter and Drew were able to get the Pack 280 Express Passenger Car built and cut out to be mounted on the trailer. The trailer will be pulled by Tim Morris using his Suburban.

Thursday, there is a need for help with the painting of the passenger car, the signs, and the remaining decorations for the trailer. The plan is to start at 3:30pm at the Leaumont residence. Friday, is as needed.

For Saturday morning, the trailer must arrive by 8am at the staging area, however the children do not have to be at the staging area by 8am. The recommendation is for all the kids and parents to meet at Timber Creek Elementary near Tiger Baseball Fields for 9:00am since other groups have been told to gather there, so that the kids can join in at Eaton and Morriss when we pass with the trailer.

We hope to see you Thursday for the final decorating of the trailer.
