In September, 2005, the Town of Wilmington celebrated its 275th Anniversary.
WCTV volunteers descended upon the event en masse to provide unparalleled
coverage of this once-in-a-lifetime milestone in the Town’s history. Five camera crews covered the event from a myriad of angles. The “cherry on the sundae”,
however, was the overhead angle we got from Walter Collings, who showed up with a lift bucket.
(Would that make it the “cherry-picker on the sundae?”) In some of these photos, you can see Walter’s perch directly above the parade route.
