Halloween 2024

It wasn't as cold as our first Halloween in Colorado, but we did get about 2" of snow the day before. It seems that one of the few things you can count on for Colorado winter is snow by October 31st.

We even got a Halloween photo of Sandy.








All Halloweens end with trading treats.

140th Anniversary Celebration for the First United Methodist Church of Arroyo Grande, CA

We flew a flag today helping the FUMCAG celebrate its 140th Anniversary. A 38-star flag like the one shown here (but maybe not the same exact star pattern) would have been flying on September 3, 1884 when the church was established.

Set Construction

Matteo, Antonio, and friends have been working feverishly lately to get the Newsies set pieces built, transported, and put in place at the theater.





The van.












The show is set in 1899, the year of the
newsboy strike in New York City. The 45-star
flag pictured above would have been flying.
