Randall has only been volunteering for 4 years with the WDM, but boy, does he know his stuff!
He’s always problem-solving and making sure the aging mechanics are running smoothly.
He says he’s committed to maintaining the old-style mechanics as long as possible.

Randall also enlightened me about the lore of “Punkinhead: The Sad Little Bear”, who was Eatons’ answer to Rudolph (a creation of Montgomery Ward in the US to drive sales).

Randall took me behind the scenes of the Christmas displays at the WDM in #YXE, and showed me how they worked.
The Eaton’s “Once Upon a Christmas” display was built in 1948, originally crafted by the Canadian Air Force using spare parts left over from WWII.

I had the chance to speak with a wonderful Western Development Museum volunteer named Randall, who is charged with maintaining the 1948 “Once Upon a Christmas” Eaton’s display, and we spoke for over an hour about his passion for all things mechanical ⤵️
