Benny, this is Josh with the Trojan Horse camp. I am so excited to see this again after seeing it in your showroom. I think I want to talk to you about using this technology to light up one of our cubes located on the top of our 6 story scaffolding structure. We have a 8×8 cube wrapped in 75% shade cloth. Hope to hear from you soon.

The wind was shown two ways: she carried a leaf blower painted black she had blowing when she entered the room; and also she sewed cocktail umbrellas and little cars all over her petticoat, as a lot of her deck umbrellas went flying off during the storm. For some extra drama, she sewed a “dog collar” of flashing colored lights. This took a few weeks of planning, researching, and sewing, but it was worth it: it was the first time she had seen so many of her friends actually speechless! And she won First Prize for Best Costume. The only problem is: How is she going to top this next year? Then we have the talented Mikaela Holmes who makes fabulous costumes.
