Dayboro Show

Hi Readers, I'm just back from a weekend promoting GAP at the Dayboro show. We all had a lot of fun, meeting some old friends and making a heap of new ones. We had fine weather for the weekend although it was a little windy but really, who can complain about cool nights and lovely low humidity days?

We had a few promo first timers with us this time and they all went so well smooching the public and getting patted. I hope you enjoy the photographs -

The devil horse of Dayboro made an appearance early on the first day.
