This one almost slipped by me …

As many of you know, Troop 160 has been doing the holiday lighting at the bandstand for a number of years.  Last year, with the generous help of friends of the troop, we switched to LED lights which were easier to string and required a lot less attention during the month they were up.

The lights go on in the Center starting this Friday, but we are always a day behind because we have found that there is less vandalism if we put them up and then light them that night.

So Saturday, if you can make it, come on down to the bandstand in Hastings Park to help string lights.  I am sure somebody will stop at Dunkin’ Donuts for something with sugar on it and I am also sure that there will be a Cambro of hot cocoa to boot.  Dress warmly.  I have a couple of ladders and a couple of commercial staplers although we try to use a minimum of staples.  Typically it takes us no more than a couple of hours to do the work. We will start work at 8 AM this coming Saturday.  I expect to be through not later than 10 AM.
