This week's photos are scenes from a place
very dear to lots of us Zonians. At Christmas time every year, the
Panzers in Diablo would decorate their yard with many different yard
ornaments. What was so unique about the Panzer display, was that the wooden
figurines were animated and moved. We would visit the display
every year. Stop the car and just stare for a little while in
awe. Later in my life, when I finally got me a house and a yard to
call my own, I began doing the same. My family and I have many wooden
yard ornaments that we have made. It is always so much fun each year
to decorate the yard for Christmas. I hope you enjoy these two old slides
from 1963. They were very dark and I had a hard time getting them
somewhat viewable. The slides were taken by Perry Truxton. The Locks
Locomotive was actually made at the Locks by names unknown.
Compliments of the season to everyone.
