  • Circus Poinsettia Show 2013

    I can’t believe how fast this comes around each year, but here we are  again.
    This year was a little different, Dave had a heart attack shortly before the planning meeting for the show and was in the hospital but we had already picked out a theme.
    Last year while the Christmas in New York City Theme Poinsettia Show was going on , our main artist and display designer had a dream that we did a circus theme,
    it sounded like so much fun that we all agreed to use that idea. Dave and I told the rest of the staff to plan it and we had no idea what they would do ,
    we only knew that with the wonderful staff that we have the show would be phenomenal, as usual!

    The staff surprised Dave with a testimony about his heart attack and recovery!

    Aloysius_son  and his wife Lori came down for a few days to help, he built the entrance way to the circus for us, and Lori helped me with some crafts.
    They are such wonderful family!
