Street Preformance World Championship

I headed to Portlaois for the SPWC. The first day started with rain, but the sun didn't want to miss the show & soon a picnic atmosphere settled on the park, with most of the spectators sitting on the grass.

The Where's Wally record attempt was also called off,leaving a lot of children & one photographer a little disappointed
