The Case of the Missing Mardi Gras Shoebox Float Designers

Submitted by Penny A on Tue, 02/26/2013 - 4:46pm

   The Children's Department at Freeman needs help solving a mystery.  We're trying to find the missing designers of some of the shoebox floats that we recently displayed for the Mardi Gras season.  The young designers attended a program we had on Monday, January 28 to design shoebox floats.   We asked the designers to let us put the shoebox floats out for display through Mardi Gras (February 12) and then they could pick them up to bring home.  We didn't get quite enough contact information from these young designers to reach them directly.
