"It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"

Thanks to members who helped put together a most festive and whimsical

Market Square display this year... 

Joyce Kippin, Barbara Monahan, Susie Glessner, Paula Jones & Laura Larson.

Joyce fashioned all of the solders and snowmen using plant pots and imaginative

 decorations.

Real coal was used for snowmen's eyes and mouths, styrofoam noses were painted carrot orange.

The Soldiers and Snowmen were crafted over many days at Joyce's home.

Susie Winthrop, Paula Jones, Joyce Kippin and Barbara Monahan pack the truck to take the soldiers to Market Square.

Barbara measured the island and planned out the design of the trees and ornaments.

Thanks to Jack Kippen who did the heavy work and engineered all the trees and pottery stabilization. "These pots and trees are going nowhere" secured by buried rebarb and zip ties.

                             We hope the "children" of Ipswich enjoy this merry display.
