The 2012 World Balloon Convention had almost come to an end. Tonight everyone got out of their practical work clothes & dressed to impress in tuxedos and ball gowns. The winners for the competitions were announced, the Aussies large sculpture received a bronze level achievement. Individual Aussies entered various other competitions, such as table centrepiece, and we're so proud of their achievements!

The next World Balloon Convention was announced.... Denver, Colorado in 2014!
We'll be working really hard for the next 2 years saving our pennies with the aim to make it to our 3rd consecutive World Balloon Convention!

Robbie Furman was awarded the Golden Light Award, in honour of Linda Bruce. None of us could think of a more deserving person. I spent some time working with Robbie on a hot air balloon for the Festival of Balloons & attended some of his classes. He is definitely one of the most inspirational and fun loving people in the industry.
