In this file photo from Nov. 22, 2012, handlers keep a tight rein on the Sonic the Hedgehog balloon as it travels the route of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. Macy’s says it is closely monitoring the weather after recent forecasts predicted wind gusts up to 30 mph during the department store’s upcoming parade on Thanksgiving morning. Based on New York City guidelines, no giant balloons will be operated if the wind gusts exceed 34 mph.

On Tuesday, a crew from Matthews Construction was busy doing some much-needed maintenance work on the world's largest covered wagon.

The wagon, which belongs to the Abraham Lincoln Tourism Bureau of Logan County, has had issues with leaning wheels and a sagging canopy. The bureau contracted Matthews to help resolve some of these issues before winter wind and weather threaten to make things worse.
