The milkshake in America was so much better, maybe they use some real cream as well in the mix.

So trying to match up pictures with awards,

1, Shonna won the Betallic on line award for promoting the bear heads

2, Vicky Kimble won the Betallic award maybe for services to the balloon community. Perhaps I should email Vicky to find out?

3, Broken pump to Dustin Reudelhuber

This was Robbie Furman's take on the song 12 days of Christmas to 12 days of balloons, it was very funny and the whole room enjoyed it.

Still the 12 days of balloons,

Not sure how this one balloon dog got into this section so in case I have not posted it before here it is, I think Ken Stillman made the original design.
There was a little confusion over the 3 minute competition as the wrong names went up for those making the models, the car was made by Tony Twist
and came third although on the screen it did say it was made by Denzel. Emailing Larry a few times we think we have it all correct now.

Thanks for continuing to post so many photos. Great memories.

And from memory that last photo of the race car was Tony Twist's not Denzel's.  

Quote from: "Danny the Idiot"And from memory that last photo of the race car was Tony Twist's not Denzel's.  

Lucky I mentioned it then in the post before      But yes some nice memories.

sorry, I didn't read the post just looked at the pictures!      :roll:

Tony with his award    Tyler Sterling was second and I did not get a picture, oops and then we have Jack Mattson picking up his first place award for his Elephant

The models were taken as they were laying on the table, you are not allowed to touch them so you do not get any great pictures.
I have sent an email to Patty and Royal suggesting how I think this evening should run so that the models are displayed nicer for those entering and then we could also get better pictures.

3 minute competition,

1st Jack Mattson, Elephant
2nd Tyler Sterling, Rhino
3rd Tony Twist, Car

The winners of the 3 minute competition.
Tony, Tyler and Jack.

The winners of the balloon costume competition,

I have just spent the past 15/20 mins looking for the pictures of the fashion show and costume show on this thread as I wanted to post a picture of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. I may have somehow forgotten to post these, I think they were on my lap top to be done and then I came home I started to download from my computer and they got missed out, fed up looking at the moment so will go through all 32 pages to double check and then if not I have another evening of pictures from Twist & Shout to sort out and post.

I have solved the mystery, somehow between my laptop and home computer I missed out 140 pictures, so I need to go through them all and to resize some,
they are from the balloon costume and balloon fashion show evening

The balloon costume winners were,
