<p>The over all lay out of the booth will be 10 x 20</p>
<p>There will be a curved back wall acting as a back drop for the center piece which will be a unique water feature.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Curved Back Drop wall will be 15' long and about 7.5' high</p>
<p>The water feature will be positioned in front of the curved wall and will allow for people to walk behind it.</p>
<p>It might be a little cramped but I think we can pull it off...</p>

<p>It might be a little cramped but I think we can pull it off...</p>
<p></p>
<p>Here are some renderings and I will describe the design and process.</p>
<p>First is the Lettering and logo concept...</p>

<p></p>
<p>This is the initial design </p>
<p>It is based off of a runic tribal style and celtic tribal works around it in Urnes style which is more modern viking art and would flow nicely with the water feature.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The V and the A are designed as Dragons...</p>
<p>But I have changed it again....and now I am leaning toward One dragon...</p>
<p>some here we have the V and the A as one dragon</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>I like this better and it is growing on me every day....</p>
<p></p>
<p>the water feature is awesome as well</p>
<p> There will be three stones standing upright... the Base for this water feature comes from Redi-Pour.... I have mentioned this company to you before and Have featured them at the West Coast Training Center as well. I am very excited to get my hands on this piece.</p>

<p></p>
<p>This is a rendering of the water feature... this next picture is a stone faced unit..</p>

<p></p>
<p>The base is really cool and comes all ready to go.. just needs Vertical Decorative Concrete.</p>

<p></p>
<p>There you have it....</p>
<p></p>
<p>This is our design this year... stay tuned fore last minute updates and arrival times...</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
