Barbies235 viewsMany neighbors and friends have been asking about the Barbies. Due to virus concerns, we made a conscious decision not to create the display this year since it draws so many visitors of all ages to congregate near our gate. Instead, the Barbies are observing social-distancing guidelines with masks on, as this photo taken on July 4 illustrates. We hope that the full crew will be out next year.
