Jan 23 08. Thank you for today<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; you looked fantastic and you did a wonderful job engaging and entertaining the children and their parents, well done and thank you.\u00a0Lucette Talbot, Arts Project officer. Frankston City Council \u2014 Urban Strategy<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moomba 2007. On behalf of the City of Melbourne<\/strong>\u00a0I would like to thank the Tall Poppies for your involvement in the Moomba Waterfest 2007 Children&#8217;s Garden Program. The Tall Poppies brought a unique sound and energy to the festival and as a result we have had exceptional feedback on all areas of the children&#8217;s garden program. Additionally, I am very appreciative of your commitment, flexibility and professionalism during your engagement, yours sincerely Michell Bell, project coordinator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bayside Festival<\/strong>\u00a0held on Sunday 28 March 2004 on the Sandringham Foreshore was a huge success and featured three performance stages, 120 community, cultural and market stalls, street theatre and a range of spectacular entertainment. About 12,000 people attended the event. Sensational roving performers the Tall Poppies were a great hit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dear Jen and Terry<\/strong>\u00a0Have just had a call from Margaret re. last night. She said you were great, so professional, entertaining, bounced off (not literally) one another, Fabulous! Thought you would like to know. Thanks again, Katrina, Orators &amp; Creators.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your stilt dance was wonderful<\/strong>. Lots of people commmented on it and loved it. The bride said it was amazing she had a ball and loved it and her friends thought it was great. Wedding Sofitel Hotel, Aug 04.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you for your contribution<\/strong>\u00a0towards making the 2006 Moonee Valley festival such a wonderful and colourful community event. Please pass on my thanks to the other poppies. Your performance at the festival was a great example of creating community connections.
