 The Father-Daughter Dance of the Muses

 

Plenty of dancing on our large dance floor

 Margie Boerema poses with our giant floating Angel


 About that 8-foot tall floating Angel...
A symbol of the FFS "moving to new heights"
The Angel personifies our spirit and energy to go beyond all expectations!

 The Angel took 3 weeks to construct. 
Used PVC piping for framework and a combination of 
foam-core and paper-mache' for the body.
