Help on Aldol type mechanism with pyridinium salt

Hi.

Im very confused on how to draw this mechanism for my lab. In the reaction, the pyridinium salt is condensed with an aldehyde in an aldol type reaction, then the product undergoes elimination.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Picture of the reaction is given below:
