I wondered if the city\u2019s arts commission might like them as a display, and they were receptive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The idea also resonated with Mayor Mark Orgill, who with Councilwoman Sue Kempf, took part in Friday\u2019s parade to City Hall.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=10890\">WHO chief visits epicenter of the Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo as cases outpace response<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was thinking it would be great if we had banners or some reminders around town about what\u2019s happening,\u201d he said. \u201cNow, here we are, they came up with this idea, and I think it\u2019s brilliant.

She\u2019s also peppering the show\u2019s narration with details not everyone knows.<\/p>\n<p>And, there will be fun surprises, something Challis-Davy is known for and what continues to keep longtime attendees guessing and first-time visitors impressed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ideas find me often accidentally,\u201d Challis Davy said. \u201cI\u2019m still curious, interested and my job continues to be fun.
