I had a play at the sausage dog for my three minute competition entry.
The slap band man.

I then tried the larger sausage dog for the twelve minute competition.
Bella and Claire, two old friends from way back, it was nice catching up.

Décor in the hallway before the convention started.

This is Steve, we met at a T&S a little while back.
You could not wish to meet a nicer person.

Still before the official opening.

More from the pre-convention.

This picture is for Donna, she wanted to know about my after shave etc.

The official opening and then Todd, Guido and Andrea announced a new balloon
organisation that they are just about to launch.

Then it was onto the competitions, the first one was the three minute.
So the next 20 or so designs were all made in under 3 minutes.

All made within three minutes.

Still the competition.

The hippo was placed but I will need to check my notes.

It would be nice of the competition entries could be displayed a little nicer.
Not sure what the answer would be though.

My dog popped at the very last minute   But it was fun to enter.
The light sabre from Scott was the winner, amazing what some people can twist in 3 minutes.
