A float created by the members of the VFW Auxiliary of Post No. 5649 in Concordia took top honors in this year’s Concordia Fall Festival Religious and Decorated Float parade competition. According to Auxiliary member Jeanie Peterson, “Covering Our Veterans in Love” was made using over 2,000 cut and feathered feathers, 300 rolled and fluffed flowers. It took a combined 1,000 hours of labor to complete.
