| Post subject: | Perth Royal show (Lots of pics) |
The Perth Royal show is coming up in a little over two weeks, and this year the show will be showcasing aquaculture as a special feature. Calinda from the Woodvale fish and lily farm has been pushing for an aquaculture attraction at the royal show for many years and this year she got her wish. Calinda contacted us many months ago to offer us a main position in the pavilion and we've been working with her in preparation for the event since then. Today was the media launch for the royal show where all of the TV stations, newspapers and magazines come along to get footage and pictures for promotion purposes. We had been setting up a display over the past couple of days and today it all came together. Of course there were the obligatory farm animals and they even brought in a few "stunt" families for the day for promotional purposes.

Were they standing near our systems??? Carl noticed someone had moved stuff around at the display, stuck some cloud background screen in front of the big fish tanks we had. |
