11:00 pm- meet at the Fleetwood with your shopping cart and your partner and get ready for the race down main street at midnight. awards will be givein for first plase in both modified and un-modified carts, as well as best cart and best costumes. there may bebe a party or an after show or something.
ALSO – we may have a wall in town and paint for anyone to work on a mural if they want to. we could use brushes and more paint.
AND -we will have a poster makeing workshop where we will learn how to make wheat paist and posters and then we’ll use them some night. we need contaners to put the paist in and brushes and bring any posters you have already that you’d like to see put up.
