We always enjoy Gunnison's big Christmas tree but this year has been extra special. Each year, classes from our local schools build ornaments and then a group of students is selected to help hang them on the town tree. Meredith's class built an elaborate snowman ornament that they named "Firsty" and then voted to decide who would go to represent their class. Meredith and all her classmates wrote someones name down on a piece of paper and then her teacher, Mrs. Betts crunched the numbers. They were supposed to vote for someone that exemplified the "Mustang Way" (their school mascot is a mustang). Lucky day for Merry, because her class picked her to help hang the ornament! So, on the day the tree was lit, all the kids came downtown where the city folks had everything set to hang the ornaments. Merry got to take a ride in a "cherry picker" and Firsty now has a special place in the middle of the tree. She might have been a little nervous at first, but after coming down, of course she was immediately ready to go back up again. Keep up the hard work Meredith, it always pays off.
