3, The motley crew just arriving to the park

Today we entertained on the big stage inthe main festival park and they had there biggest audience to date but still a very sad low figure of arond 50/60 people
They are charging 100 yen, around £10 for the day. It's sad really that all these artists have been brought from around the world for so very few to see at a very expensive cost to someone.
We are trying to do our bit for ticket sales and go next to the ticket office which is situated next to the promotion stage and twist balloons for 30 mins which draws the crowd over and the then sellers start promoting the festival, we have had a little success with this tactic. Perhaps there just open the main doors tomorrow and let everyone in as it was difficult going from 200 odd in the audience down to the 50 mark.
The body painters were at it again today with another competition which I got a few pictures of that I'll post.

The second picture is from the dance club that was going on outside the main gates and the third picture is of the keep fit club next to them.

1, One of the clown shows, the face of the little girl is an absolute gem.
