The Tour de Cure stall was presented at last Saturday's Artarmon Fair on the lower north shore in Sydney with our promotion moving out into the community; face-to-face. The stand, designed by Mark Starr, attracted plenty of interest with mannequins displaying the spanking brand new TDC jerseys (and the jerseys look fantastic!), the charities' materials, our sponsors and plenty of other goodies. Two bikes, one adult road bike and one kid's mountain bike on wind trainers provided a fun focal point, plus a large plasma screen with the TDC powerpoint show and Drew McAlister's 'Along for the Ride' pumping out, with plenty of cycling training shots - all added to the festive atmosphere.
The day provided a wonderful opportunity to chat to families and people in the community about Tour de Cure in detail, about the charities and the sponsors' great support. Donations were flowing, with more pledges to follow.
The TDC team and their families made a big effort to ensure the stall was a success and thanks for all the support from Geoff Coombes, Kate Cosgrove, Denver Bevan, Eric Cairnduff and wife Joan, Alex Cairnduff and daughter Sophie, Josh McBride and g/f Meg, Natalia Heath with kids Nicola, Olivia and Lachlan, Natalia's uncle and my parents, and Lance Creed. Lance supplied the generator, managed to override some technical glitches and was invaluable support in bump in and bump out.
But the Gold Star for community spirit goes to 8 year old Artarmon girl, Zoe, who attended the TDC stall. Zoe came to the Fair with $5 to spend and after she heard what TDC was all about, she said she really didn't need those other things on sale and donated all her fair money to Tour de Cure.
