The Wood Guy [338]

1/11/14: Pat Stanley has been a firewood dealer for the past 24 years, earning him the nickname of "The Wood Guy." Eva visits Pat at his Richford warehouse and follows him on a delivery to St Albans. It's been a rough winter for Stanley. The below freezing temperatures have created an unusually high demand for wood and with a low supply of dry wood in the area, "The Wood Guy" has been kept busy.

For the past 3 years, the Clearys have been burning large sculptures created by sculptor & fire breather, Chris Cleary. This year Chris built a 20 foot tall creation representing Old Man Winter.  Kim Cleary is a fire spinner, and multiple fire artists joined both her and Chris in the pre-show performance. There were over 200 guests in the Cleary backyard on Saturday night gathered to watch Old Man Winter burn. Despite the cold temperatures, this celebration was the perfect way to ring in the new year.
