This year’s Rossmoor Holiday Pole Workshop will be held on Saturday November 21st at Rush Park from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Boy Scout Troop 188 will put on a demonstration on how to assemble the poles that will begin right at 2:00, so please arrive early. The Scouts will also be on hand to help you build your post.
Please PRE-ORDER your pole materials by contacting Chris Marshall via email (RossmoorLights@gmail.com) or cal him 562-598-5558. This is critical so there will be enough supplies on hand for the workshop.
And there are some tools that you’ll want to bring along with you:
- A fully charged cordless drill
- Drill bit set (specifically 1/8, 5/16 and 3/8 sizes)
- Standard Philips screwdriver head for drill
- Regular sized manual Philips screwdriver
- A pair of saw-horses
- A tape measure and a pencil
- 2″ hole saw (Only bring this if you have one – it’s a 1-time cut, and we’ll have a few you can use if don’t already have one.)
The cost for the pole materials is $70 and you can add a lighted garland for an additional $30. Please bring cash or a check to cover these supply costs.
Come join your neighbors and have some fun on what’s likely to be a sunny Saturday in Rossmoor. Please do bring along a jacket or sweater as the afternoon breeze can make things a bit chilly.
Oh, and if you cannot join us at the Workshop itself, you can order a Holiday Pole from Troop 188 and they will deliver it to your house. Orders must be placed no later than December 5th. Additional details and the order form can be found on the Troop’s Holiday Pole website.
