Saturday, Feb 11th – Build Mardi Gras Float – Mike Rasch’s house. Adults should meet at 10AM. Bring wood construction tools. Scouts (sign painters) should show up at 1PM and wear old clothes. Scouts who participate this Saturday will get first pick on their locations on the float. The following is from Jeff Covington (float designer): “Ok troops , this weekend we finish the build on our float. We will start at 10:am and meet at Mike Rasch's house. Scouts should wear old yet warm clothing. We will be painting as well as other things. Something you can do at home (where it is warm) is make a large lettered sign for display on the float. Letters must be large and painted with a bright color or a heavy black for the letters. Cardboard is a excellent material to make this out of. Posterboard is good too. Signs should say something positive such as "We survived Katrina".... or funny like " slightly damaged house for sale", "like new car, will make great aquarium ornament".” Does anyone have an old refrigator box that they could donate for our use?
