Getting Parade-Ready

Peggy's old pilothouse sits atop a trailer as we prepare for the annual Mathews Christmas Parade. We have the honor this year of carrying the big guy, Santa. Dave and other volunteers have been cutting boards to sure up the walking platform and building up the sides. She will look like a little boat adorned with lights and hopefully fresh greens from the Extension Service wreath-making group. Parade is this weekend. This has become a really nice tradition for MMF.
