We received a call last Friday night at about 5:00 EST that Dick Cheney was coming to our town on Monday the 16th and could we: Build a 10 x 15 ft Flag 2 - 10 Ft Uncle Sams Bunches of Columns Hide Basketball hoops and so much more... Well, if you get a chance check out TheLedger.com for the October 17 edition. This is our local paper and on the front page was a hint of all our hard work. Thanks to Lauderdale Paper and Balloons(Steve was Great!), our great staff and family and friends (Luis at A1 Magic.com.), we did it. We had never built quite this large of a sculpture - it was hard work, yet an awesome opportunity. There were 7 Networks covering the event and different ones showed different views. Thanks to back issues of Images, Balloons and Parties, etc. we were immediately inspired!!!! Just thought we'd toot our own horn. Thanks to all of you for continued inspiration!
