The design effort began in early March with club member discussions as well involvement with Melinda Seegers of Department 56. As in years past the new challenge was to incorporate the club's summer building collection of Season's Bay with Department 56's latest Carnival collection. A comletely new base was designed and created by club members, Sean Monic, Dale-Ann Hosack, Shannon Jones and Linda Teninty.

As in past change-outs of the display, club members assembled at Providence Hospital on the morning of May 6 to begin the tear-down of the Snow Village street scence. This winter scene consisted of a typical residential street with pieces on loan from Rosemary Slisz, Linda Teninty and Dale-Ann Hosack. By 11:00 am the cabinet dispaly was cleared out and setup crew took over to create the summer scene.

First things first, the newly designed base was placed into the cabinet. Club members Sean Monico and Bev Sinnott went to work on getting the necessary lighting design in place. Beth-ann Culhane and her son Chris, Shannon Jones, Linda, Kathy and Shirley were all on board to lend a hand with the buildings, accessories and landscaping. New pieces this year included the Carnival Teacups, Flying Space Planes, Carousel and the Horse Stable. All eight of the buttons were utilized in some way to create the greatest amount of interactivity for a summer display. After a couple of hours of putting everything in just the right place, the cabinet was sealed up and all was cleaned up to allow the first patient guest to enjoy the scene. Another setup was now complete!
