The teardown of the show happens immediately after the ending of the show on Sunday. There are about 150 easels that have to go back into the closet as well as the panels for the mini art sale, the pedestals for the floral decorations, and all the other stuff that we drag out.
Once again, a dedicated group of volunteers shows up to do the work.
Before we began the teardown, we announced the Popular Award
