4th of July Float Planning

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are having another float planning and construction day after tennis on the 18th at the Kelley's! Please come if you can!!

After heading "west"on our float last year we decided to continue the theme with a "little house on the prairie" type float. A cabin, Pa plowing the field, children in the garden, and maybe even some Indians??? If you have any items that would fit this theme that you would be willing to let us use on the float please contact us ASAP. We would love a real butter churn if anyone has one!

If you need to be reminded how much fun the float is here are a few pics from last year:
