Holiday greetings from all of us at Purl’s Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning! December is a time of celebrations across the globe, despite the cold weather that affects much of the countries in the Northern Hemisphere.
All of us at Purl’s Sheet Metal & Air Conditioning had a great time enjoying the festivities of the 2013 Madera Light Parade. The parade was held on December 5, 2013 in downtown Madera and is an annual tradition to kick off the holiday season. For 20 years now, the Madera community has come out to celebrate the holidays by lining up along the streets of Yosemite Avenue to cheer for their favorite parade entry.
Our final tally is in and all the coats have been picked up and taken to the local Salvation Army office in Madera. We didn’t know how many coats to expect at first and we are truly amazed at the outpouring of support to keep our kids warm this winter. Just last Monday, our count came in at 479. With the end date in sight, we hoped we could break 500 coats…and we did! Our final count came in at 524 coats. We are overjoyed and so thankful to all involved in the donation efforts.
The 20th Annual Madera Light Parade is scheduled for Thursday Dec 5,2013. The light parade is an annual tradition in Madera that kicks off the Holiday Season with a spectacular Christmas celebration of lights. The event is hosted by the Madera Kiwanis Club and the Downtown Association.

It has been truly amazing to witness the outpouring of community support from donations dropped off at the Purl’s Sheet Metal shop, St. Joaquim School, and Lincoln Elementary School. We are incredibly proud to be a part of this community effort.
Thanksgiving began in 1621, but didn’t become a national holiday until 1863, when Abraham Lincoln declared it in hopes of bringing a divided nation together. We have many Thanksgiving traditions in this country…

There are few things more “American” than baseball, apple pie and Independence Day. On this day over 200 years ago the second Continental Congress voted to approve the Declaration of Independence. The document, which was primarily authored by Thomas Jefferson, was a written explanation of why America wanted to be free from Great Britain…
