This year we re-built most of our props. Storage has become an issue, therefore, we re-built many things using foam-board. This reduced the weight considerably. The coffin,
guillotine, two small pillars, grave digger, witch, tombstones and large
monument are all new/re-done for 2003. It then took 8 people ten hours on Sunday, October 5th to set up all the remaining display. I spent another 21 hours in the yard over the next week tweaking, fixing, and improving the displays. |
