That's No Small Red Ball

You never know what might be around the next corner in the streets of Norwich, and especially true during the Norfolk and Norwich Festival (7 - 22 May). Kurt Perschke's 15 foot inflatable red ball has been popping up in various locations around the City. It really is magnificent in the way it appeals to all ages and brings a smile to the faces of all those that pass by it.
Norwich is currently shortlisted with 3 other Cities to be the UK's first City of Culture in 2013. Events such as the NNF10 , as it's been known by, help a lot towards winning the coveted prize that would bring huge amounts of money and kudos to this fine City.

Thanks, I was lucky with the kid in his costume and the other lady wasn't the Mum but a stranger.

This is such a cool project and this photo is my favorite photo of the Red Ball. It captures exactly what this project is - surprise, magic, joy and lots of fun.

Thanks Galit, it was such fun seeing the public react to this 'foreign' object, and of course the children don't hold back at all!

Just an update to the City of Cultutre decision - unfortunately Norwich didn't win!
