Behind the Scenes Monday



Did you ever think that a tractor would come in handy for Christmas market set up?   This one's borrowed from a kind neighbour down the road as our tractor is too small to lift all the plywood for the floor in the arena.   Bill Jackson is the energizer bunny with his sidekick Myrna getting the floor into the arena.  Leveled, fit together, screwed down.   That’s 20,000 square feet of plywood!



This week continues the marathon of preparation and details and now the physical set up begins with decorating, tents, tables, the floor in the arena, rugs, electrical cables, generators, porta potties, septic pumping, dumpsters, recycling….all the behind the scenes stuff, that by the time you get here as a visitor this weekend will be seamless and part of the background.   
Our maintenance man JB is busy running around getting everything for everyone.   The truck looks like a whirlwind was in there by the end of each day.

Krystal- our Events Manager is pinch hitting and cooking lunch for volunteers.



One vendor has been here and build their booth under the grandstand.


The hall isn't ready yet.


This is where the big heated tent will be....


Check back tomorrow for how we're doing.
