Taking over the world one park at a time for GISHWHES and the Klingon Empire

[flynndanarra]

So, I've joined this new to me GISHWHES team and I'm pretty excited about it. We are looking to fill a couple more spots and the application is only open for a few more days. Are you a tea loving artist who enjoys working in a variety of unusual media? Are you an awesome networker with contacts in government, military and space organizations? Do you have a horde (small or not so small) of minions eager to do your bidding? Do you have the ability to focus your energy for a week in August making the world a kinder, weirder place filled with amazing art? Do you have what it takes to be a part of a winning GISHWHES team? You just might be the next Widdermacker If so check this out, looking for people outside of the USA but if you are American and amazing please apply anyway. :) Application includes two items which must be submitted by photo or video and deadline is the end of the month. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfRrGK8jdtVX4-X2cNHa7INrA_Zo984QhTm87aBrvyb_lydsw/viewform?c=0&w=1

Local photographer Marc Durocher captured this poignant image of two reindeer, who are out of work after being replaced by Santa’s new drone deliver system.

This gingerbread warrior’s monument commemorates the final battle of the DaHar Master Kor, who single handedly engaged a squadron of Jem Hadar attack ships in order to allow the remaining Klingon forces to withdraw safely following a raid behind Dominion lines. The fallen red shirt acknowledges the long history of his services to the Empire, dating back to his engagements against Federation forces.

Being Klingons, we felt it appropriate to recreate a monument from our home planet of Qo’noS

Randy and Todd (the monsters) had fun decorating a tree at the park with popcorn for the birds and leaving small gifts includinig socks, snacks, soap, gift cards for Tim Hortons and little toys for passers by.

After asking around, we found out that a 97 year old lady who is a member of my mom’s church was unable to leave the hospital to attend the Christmas service with her family for the first time in her long life. 

We sent her a visitor and a gift that contained the softest lap blanket I’ve ever felt, and a small container full  of home baked treats.

We asked around and found out the location for the Christmas afternoon popup warming station.

It was at a local church, so, about a half hour before they opened their doors, we braved the -22C temperatures to hang out stockings for those seeking warmth and shelter.

In the stockings we placed some of the warmest wool socks we could get, hats, gloves, snacks, and a few other essentials.

We disappeared before the warming station staff came outside and saw us. The stockings were mentioned by a local radio station. Apparently they were appreciated, especially the socks.

They wondered if Santa was real... he is... he’s just a little younger and less bearded than they might thinik.

We found that this little family at the miners memorial in Schumacher’s MacIntyre Park was a little under dressed for both the weather and for the alliday festivities. At first we tried a fuzzy alliday hat on the parent but then decided that EVERYTHING is better with Klingons and gave her the ridges of a warrior.

Pax, the little green monster in the stocking, decided that he and Colin needed to get in on the fun.
