Goodwyn, Mills, and Cawood Architect Gerald Clark stopped by WAFF 48 Studios today. He showed us how ANYONE can build a can structure. Try these steps at home to build a can pyramid:

1) Collect your cans.

2) Sort the cans by size and color. 

3) Find a stable surface like a hardwood floor.

4) Make sure you have general purpose string, rubber bands, tape, scissors, and card board.

5) Line your cans into the shape of a large circle. Make sure all exterior cans have the same colors. 

6) FOR EVERY TWO CAN STACKS...

A) Tie string around the top stack. (Use rubber bands for extra reinforcement if needed.) 

B) Lay cardboard on top. (You may have to cut the cardboard to match the shape of your circle stack.) This will help stabilize the taller structures.

C) Decrease the size of the circle stack. 

7) Keep building until you end up with one or two cans on top. CONGRATULATIONS!

Scottsboro's Christmas Parade will be December 5th in the historic downtown court square at 5 p.m. The rain date is December 6th at 6 p.m.

Admission is free. Join in all the festivities that celebrate the reason for the season.

The floats are have the theme "A Storybook Christmas" and are being judged based on how their decorations interpret the story. All floats will line up at 4:30 p.m. on Legion Drive in front of Collins Elementary School.

If you're interested in participating, visit the Chamber and sign an entry form. Your entry form will be presented or displayed when you arrive for the line-up. The Scottsboro Police Department requires each vehicle driver to present a current driver's license.

A $10 donation is requested for each entry into the Christmas Parade.

Q: I want to throw a Halloween party this year, but not the same old fake spider webs and "bloody" red punch. How can I make my party stand out?

A: First, bring on the costumes! You need people to dress up; otherwise, it's just another lame gathering at your place. How to do this depends on your friends. Are they competitive? Have a costume contest. Do they need a little guidance?
