Our newest (plush) addition (arrived last Mon) was this 3ft tall Emperor Penguin who joined our window display. I have a special fondness for penguins……
From 1982-86, I had the pleasure of working with 2 ladies on an annual series of programs involving stage design and Christmas Floats. One of our most memorable was the 1984 “That’s Snow Business” that involved making an 8ft polar bear, walrus and about 20 penguins out of (LOTS of) paper mache & chicken wire. This went on to be on Christmas Floats we did for Concord and Kannapolis Christmas Parades as well as the (our 1st) Charlotte Carrousel Parade for then WEZC EZ104.7 with morning personalities Chuck Boozer & Team. This new penguin I named RoxiCon in honor of Roxy Barbee & Connie Black. Thanks for the wonderful memories we had creating lots of “penguams” and fun times. 😊
