Parade Photos and Update

Well we had our second parade of the season on Saturday during Waverly's Heritage Days festival. We had Ty, Dylan, Joanne, Kristyn, and myself dressed up and handing out goodies to the children. Some kids loved us, some were unsure, and some just got plain FREAKED OUT when we handed them cups and candy. However overall I believe it was a great success we handed out 6 big bags of candy, and over 1,500 Domino's cups between 3 floats. We leaded the pack, behind us was Domino's Pizza, and after that was the Overmann Plumbing float. The whole thing went great!

Here are some photos of our float. Mind you, the pictures were taken with my camera so they aren't the greatest quality!

In other news, our 12 foot tall clown head is coming right along... This thing is going to be HUGE! I'm very very excited to get the thing up and see what it looks like all done. I did some airbrush work on it last night. Got the face about done, my air compressor was getting really hot so I quit before it broke down on me! Should finish the face today, and get the rest of the head painted by the end of the week. Here are some progress pictures of my airbrush work:

We have set a date for the set up of the haunted house!!! We are going to be setting up the first of August. The outside haunt is going to be the first thing to go up. Some people ask "Why so early?" Well in order to do our best at making our sets as realistic as we possibly can, we need to start early to assure that we have enough time to put work into our sets to give it that realistic touch. Also, we have to set up in order to get a few other projects out of the garage and into the haunt to make room in our ever crowding garage!

Our 2008 haunt is coming right along! For information about how you can help, contact Zach Wiechmann at 319 269 9635. This is going to be by far our best year ever! Don't miss out on the fun!
