Firday night – cougar burn

Very cool eveong. Gabe got Chris to build a wooden Cougar for MMU’s homecoming bonfire tonight. Chris did an amazingjob as usual !. this thing looked so life like !

Gabe and chris loaded it on Chris’s dad’s truck with a forklift and took it to the school . Then they mounted it to the chaky platform that was waiting for..

A bit later we all came back and I helped them load it with fireworks..

It wasnt anywhere near dark when the burn started.. some kids came up with flaming torches and touched it to the fuse in the beasts front left paw.
