They have been building the designs since Monday and now it's open to the public till Sunday 17th at mid day.
I'm off to take a look on Sunday at the 10am section, it's sponsored by Gemar Balloons and they have used 125k.

We went down to take a look at the Big Build this morning, met up with Danielle for an enjoyable few hours.
It says they used 125 thousand round balloons and to be honest we did not count them... ROFL, he he.

There was some twisting designs but the majority were with the round balloons.

The other thing to mention is that some of the designs were made 5/6 days ago now and a few things did require a little attention.
I spoke with Liz who was one of the organisers and she did mention that they had 80 people attending and making the designs over four days.

We walked around the venue three times, twice the correct way and then later during the visit against the flow,
I should say it had quietened down later in the morning so we did not upset or get in anyone's way.
You do see things differently walking in both directions.

The signs, Toys and North Pole were simple but very effective.

The event was sponsored by Gemar, although we could not see any signs stating this but then perhaps we were not looking or just missed them.
