The three weeks between January 17th and February 7th our Museum Volunteers Patrick Myers, Tom Bakalar, Keith Richards, Richard Green, and, perhaps others? Drilled the holes and poured the steel reinforced concrete footings to support our new stage. A long piece of stout steel pipe was cast within each. Tom Garrison took these pictures.

Lower right: A few promotional pictures were taken for United Rentals   who donated the use of this stout long reach lift truck.
