I have a feeling we’re going to be seeing a lot of TV-inspired Halloween characters this year, thanks to shows like “Pan Am” – even our own Haley sported the blue suit with Meg Allan Cole on “Fox & Friends” recently! I’m pretty sure I won’t be the only Leslie Knope, AKA Pawnee Goddesses Troop […]
From user Douglas Desrochers. The barrels appear to be PVC.
