Today we picked up 'Big John' from our friends at Bendt Brothers Upholstery West of the Ashley where they have created a real work of art with canvas. The selection of colors, the embroidery work, and the workmanship in the design and stitching really make this hose bed cover a great addition to the theme of the truck. Special thanks to Mr. Jim Hayes and his crew for their commitment to the project and for the donation of this cover. We are proud to show off their work for all to see. Jim said it best today when he spoke of Chief Winn as his friend and his feeling that this truck was truly a community effort. He is so right as this project could not have come together without every one of our friends who have helped us make it a reality.
