Last spring, students from the Orchard Middle School After School Program made a float for the Apple Blossom Youth Parade. One of the objects on the float was a replica of Miss Veedol. Miss Veedol was splendid in the sun with lots of orange glitter. After the parade, students couldn't bear to destroy their hard work. So, they asked some folks at the East Wenatchee City Hall if they could put Miss Veedol to use. Not long after, Miss Veedol found her second home tall atop the Christmas Tree in the Wenatchee Valley Mall. Santa said that all the little kids are very interested in the glittering tree topper. Orchard students are proud to have their project on display for all to see.
