World Balloon Convention 2012- Hotel Decor Project

We were up bright & early today with plenty to do. The Australian delegates had volunteered to do the decorating for the hotel lobby, welcome room entrance, directional signs & class rooms. By midnight we had just about finished everything & were impressed with the end results.

Me standing in front of the wall we made in the hotel lobby. This is Mr Q, the Qualatex mascot.
Hanging above the wall are the paint pots. Also made by the Aussies!
The paint pots with colours splashing out. These were for each of the classrooms.
Mr Q's for the directional signs throughout the hotel.
We had fantastic green shirts made up so everyone could recognise us as the Aussies. And if that didn't work, we were constantly chanting Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi! I think by the end of the week everyone had realised that there were in fact quite a few balloonies from a land down under.  
Here we are fixing the paint pots before they are lifted & rigged to the ceiling. Note the green shirts!
