A great big thank you goes out
to everyone who showed up to
either ride on the float or anyone
who spent his morning decorat-
ing the float. Another thank you
goes to Randy Wingfield who sup-
plied us with a float and a truck to
pull it. He also drove the truck in
the parade and helped us clean-
up the float afterwards. Thanks
again Randy! Somehow I don't
think we could have done it with-
out you.
To those who took the time to
help in any way with the float,
Santa will remember you on
Christmas Eve, so make sure you
hang up your stocking. To those
believe are feet.

all very proud to have you on
