Market palace

Market day went well, we had heaps of people come in which was good as we were worried people would not be able to find us. To deal with that problem we had posters of our event around massey, the posters had tags for free goes on them, which we received a few of them today which is good. We also with the other groups had paw prints going towards the dark room and a big sign showing where it is.

We had a table at the beginning of our stall with three bottles as an example in it, there is a black light in it too so we put paper inside the empty bottles to make them glow. Above the three bottles are recipe cards for the punch that Hayley and I designed, so customers could see what flavor they won therefore change if they have allergies or else be able to remake the drink if they like it. There is an A3 instruction list in both corners of the table that Hayley made.
Above the our stall were 11 rows of 5 paper cups as decorations, Josh came up with the idea of fairy lights above us however we found the light neutralized the black light, therefore I looked into the paper cups posted earlier on. I couldn't find normal paper cups therefore I had to purchase plastic cups and stick paper on them, this turned out effectively glowing in the black light. On the wall next to us Josh came up with the idea of the stringy wall with white wool that glowed, which turned out very effectively. Izzy designed the shiny white Hoopla sign above the light box which was just high enough to get the dark light on it. There are three bottles on top of the table to show re use of decorations, one with notes in it (as posted earlier on in the blog) One with red roses in it (ties in with the wonderland group- painting white roses red) and one just to hold the hoops. We also had piles of the recipes that Hayley made.
We had a black curtain next to the stall which Izzy made and we all helped to place in the right area, it closes off the game space without hiding our stall which was good. Jarrod had the idea of a white crepe wall to create a walkway to help with the flow, We tried this out but all agreed this was too much, instead to create a flow we worked with the cat group on putting paw prints around the walkway of the room.
We all helped with the vinyl and the pulling the vinyl off of the bottles and jarrod and josh did the sandblasting for us all. 
We made 95 drinkable bottles, (5 of them broke or leaked) however it was no enough for how popular the stall was, so we began running out at about 1 and ran out completely at 1:10pm

The stalls in the dark room all had minimum things to give at about one so we all decided to half the price of entry. With how popular our bottles were people kept coming in therefore we continued playing the game, by using previously sandblasted bottles and decorations bottles until they were all gone too, these games the bottles were not sanitized therefore each bottle one we explained how to sanitize if people wanted to re use to drink out of. All bottles were won none were left behind.

Setting up the room

We set up the dark room today, more to be posted tomorrow on everything. We discussed whether we wanted the white crepe paper curtain but decided against it here are some photos of the set up, more to be posted tomorrow on all of them
