    The event is next Thursday. Last year we had 5 fires. This year there are 2 more locations that are having vendors. Plus we want a couple more fires near the area of the children’s program in hopes to keep more people comfortable enough to hang around longer. So I’m gonna need 4 more pits/barrels.
    I put some snowflake air holes in my barrel from my processing area. And made one more. The rusty one is mine and the pinkish one is the new one.
    I forgot about the Swedish candles idea until I just reread last years thread Setting the down town on fire

    I’ll get two more put together over the weekend

    Also thinking I might use the off road mini truck for a wood hauler this year, just for fun. I wish I had some 12 volt Christmas lights to hang on it

    Nice touch on the snowflakes. Love the pics of it in the snow. Looks very inviting.

    You dressing up as Santa? Bringing a mistletoe and eggnog? :santa:
