Truck farming exhibit update




This winter Kristen and Jim started working on an exhibit dealing with local truck farming. Kristen handled the signage and copy while Jim tackled the wagon and horse. As you can see from the pictures the wagon is coming along great. The level of detail is unbelievable. Andy and I have been razing Jim by telling him the wagon is stout enough that we could just slap on two more wheels and we could actually use it on the farm. The baskets that you see along the sides will be filled with faux fruits and vegetables and then covered with plexiglass so that they don't get damaged. Right now Jim is working on the steps up the back and then it will be time to start painting the wagon and working on the horse.
