This year’s offerings include the following:
Mallards on Parade: Viva Cuba’s own creative Marge Fleming provides this oak chair from Ontario, Canada with a Mallard scene.
Artist Rita Miller’s two children’s chairs display her style and an upbeat message of love and peace for the youthful set.
On the left is the “Bluebird of Happiness” to bring luck. On the right is “Wheel of Love” in soft pastel colors.
“Missouri Duo,” a Windsor chair by Cuba arist Glen Tutterrow pairs two Missouri symbols, the blue bird and the flowering dogwood, in a delicate woodland scene.
Meramec Caverns Barn: This nostalgic barn/stable was donated and painted by Marge Fleming. It has movable barn doors and is made of all new materials. These horses and barn will entertain your little wranglers while they are horsing around.

Ole’ Jose’: Marge Fleming’s colorfully created youth chair will come in handy during a visit to grandma’s. The chair was donated by Judy Workman.
Whopper: The mounted fish on this chair was donated by the Fanning US 66 Outpost’s Danny Sanazaro. It is a worthy fisherman’s resting spot.
Bahama Breeze: The material that accessorizes this glass topped Rattan table and four chairs is a Tommy Bahama design. Joyce Stewart upholstered the chairs and made the decorative table runners. A Missouri sunroom or Florida lanai will make a great home for this set.
Cat’s Eyes: Marge Fleming provided this gently used desk chair used by Tom and Bill Fleming in their boyhood home south of Cuba. It is a Shaker replica made of Vermont Maple from Bennington Mfg. Co. The cat’s eyes painted on the chair and the cats’ eyes cushion give it an exotic look.

A wooden train whistle is a bonus.
