Another year has quickly gone by and today, I am reminded that The Wizard of OZ film debut is 72 yrs old! There are many amongst us that cherish this movie in one way or another, and the fan base that exists even 72 yrs later is still strong and ever growing. Personally we are always honored to be part of a historic moment and last year, we were asked to construct two very large Ruby Red Slippers and legs for the 71st anniversary of the movie. Below is our original blog post. And if we can help YOU out with any project for an event, trade show, branding or facility theming, just click your heals three times. And when you're done with that, pick up the phone and give us a call!

So who does one call to deliver such a HUGE pair of shoes?
Who else, but the King of Huge: US: Themendous. (Tremendous Theming)
The whole sculpture process took us 2 days Saturday and Monday for the Tuesday Morning on site installation call. Wow only 2 days you say? Hell yeah! We are certainly no strangers to those types of deadlines and we don't fool around when it comes to our theming. (well, we do fool around but that's what keeps us on our toes!) The 3D foam sculptures were delivered on time and set up for get this: 90 minutes! WOW you say, but that's all that was really needed to help get the word out about the 4D experience in the Big Apple. In fact, when the AP bulletins made their ways, one single photo of our now world famous over sized shoes got close to 4 Million hits on the internet alone!
