The final product is shown in the photo. It was designed and built
by inmates of the Federal Prison in Florence, Colorado. The materials
were furnished by this Habitat affiliate.
Recently, the Gazebo was pulled through the "Pioneer Day" parade in Florence, an annual event attended by thousands. A photo of our involvement in that parade is shown in the photo below.(Left) The raffle will be held December 22, 6 P.M. at the Canon "City Market" (where it was held last year), after the decorated Gazebo has been pulled through the annual Canon City Christmas parade. The photo to the right is the 2nd raffle prize, a beautiful, three story, completely furnished Doll House.
On the evening of Dec 22, the raffle drawings were held as the "Lady Bugs", a local women's
singing group, serenaded the crowd with Christmas Carols. Holding the winning Gazebo ticket was Mrs.
Susan Stewart of Canon City. The Doll House was won by Mrs Crystal Atencio, also of
Canon City. Photos of these two winners along side their prizes are shown below.

The plan is to move the Gazebo
around on the flat bed trailer to local parades and other events where
we can expect good public exposure for ticket sales, as well as to continue
familurizing the people in our area with the Habitat for Humanity program.
On the 6th of December, the Gazebo was pulled
through the Canon city Christmas Parade. See photo to the left.
