During Nov we let the Burnside Pluckies build their parade float in our hanger, with the help of the RW Makers. The use of the extra space inside the heated hanger provided a great opportunity to work with these two groups. In return the Burnside Pluckies 4-H donated $200 toward color guard supplies, we would like to thank them for that.
