With only four short weeks left to prepare for the Yarrow Days Parade, it was time to kick things into gear to finish Henry’s plane. With the crew’s help, we finished applying the sculpting epoxy on Friday. Peter, Juniper and Henry came over on Saturday and today (Sunday) to help apply the Bondo and prep the plane for paint. That process was quick, and it wasn’t long until everyone was applying the base coat of silver paint. Henry, of course, had to sit in the cockpit frequently to make sure it was all working as it should. Henry is now dreaming up the stripe package to make it exceptional. We’ve ordered a battery pack and an inverter to power the smoke machine and two walkie-talkies so Henry and I can stay in communication along the parade route. Henry is also busy working on code phases to ensure only we know the lingo we use during the event. He's also insisting we run a series of test flights, including the smoke show, to confirm everything is in order. We will definitely be ready for the fun on the morning of Saturday, June 6th. Stay tuned…
Downey's Farm sign installed!
The first of the Downey’s Farm signs is now installed and looking great! This week, I’ll be travelling to Ontario to assist with the placement of the giant letters. I look forward to seeing them on the beautiful farm! You can bet I’ll be posting a few pictures of them as they are lifted into place. Stay tuned…
Palletized!
All of this year’s features for the Kraay Family Farm are now palletized, checked, and rechecked in preparation for shipping on May 19th. Later that week, the truck will arrive at the farm for unloading and installation. The Kraay Family Farm opens mid-July for this year’s season.
