The lunch basket hanging event was held on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. The first lunch basket was hung at 9:00am, and it belonged to my father Charlton P. Stubbs. The basket was passed to me by his grandchildren Jason and Jodi. The second lunch basket was Wesley C. Stubbs' passed to me by my oldest granddaughters. These are ceiling covers and a show of respect for as many mill workers that we can display. Looking for all lunch baskets, pails, coolers, backpacks, etc. All will be appreciated and will be hung as a tribute to all workers.
