The Easterfest crew started at the crack of dawn this morning.  Their mission - get the entry tent up in record time!  This super-structure covers the best part of a footy field.  The canvas alone weighs about 10 tonne and that is before you take into consideration the weight of the six 18m long steel king poles or the 140 steel side poles and 1m long steel pegs!
