CORN IN A CUP GOES MOBILE - EX EXPO WP

Its been two years since EXPO WP officially closed its doors but that was certainly not the end of business for the 300 stalls holders who operated under one roof at the EXPO. No siree...., Quanita's hairdresser relocated and is running a thriving business, Photo Jani Photographic Studio relocated an is inundated with Wedding Photography inquiries, Miller's Corn the "Corn in a Cup" people relocated and diversified, Burger World relocated and expanded, in fact virtually everyone who ran a business from the EXPO relocated and are doing way better than they did whilst at the EXPO.

Miller's  cup corn or rather corn cups is one of the businesses that started out at EXPO Western Province and has subsequently adopted a new business model. Miller's corn in a cup made all there vendors mobile - a cart with  canopy. It is really an amazing idea almost as wonderful as their cups of corn. Corn is food for food lovers.  Have a look at the photograph below and your will see what i mean. The concept comes from Malaysia and the franchise company Nelson's is internationally renown for corn in a cup and is established in more than 15 counties.

Miller's Corn-in-a-Cup is an anytime, anywhere snack enjoyed at soccer, cricket or rugby.

But the best gallo images at the expo are the frame by frame account of Altus de Bruyn getting undressed in public or rather taking off his clam digger shorts as well as removing his purple under-wear. All of which can be viewed below. He trades is traditional shorts for a kilt and is about to do a "Braveheart flash". However, there were many other activities and visiting celebrities at the expo amongst which are some ministers.

ZUMBA AT EXPO WP

Some three weeks ago I heard the word ZUMBA for the first time. It was on a radio show where the instructors of the ZUMBA  class were interviewed, however I listened with half an ear. So just last week a friend had a ZUMBA  party for ladies only in order to raise funds for a touring rugby club. I was still unclear as to what this new hype was all about, then just two days ago the ladies at EXPO WP were all discussing ZUMBA in the food court when one of them, totally exited, related having seen a a double spread newspaper advert, promoting ZUMBA. She made the necessary enquiries, through consensus and took it upon herself to invite the ZUMBA team to EXPO WP for a demonstration.

On Sunday past, the Zumba team arrived, dressed in tight fitting sweats, some in lycra, some in stretch, all of them in black, yellow and neon pink. Even prior to their demo started, they looked impressive. Three of them stood on the raised platform provided, the others on the ground, then the music started. The penny dropped, Zumba was the new weight reduction, come fitness dance for everyone. Some thing like the Jane Fonda workout or the Billy Banks workout but without the workout, it was a dance.

Of the Zumba team, two dudettes were shaped like twiggy and two more were leaning towards the shape of Bessy Bunter but could they dance. In minutes they all broke a sweat but this was just a warm-up. Then the music restarted and wow, did they dance, the two dudes on stage made their bodies gyrate which looked like their stomachs were moving in circles between their throats and groin. Then they turned around and started shaking their buns at audience at high speed in sync with the music. The ladies roared with incitement and the men wowed at the dudettes buns.

Meanwhile so many ladies in the audience were mimicking the dancers in hand and body movements, in tempo with the music. Some of the ladies looked like they couldn't walk a mile but with the Zumba music playing and guidance from the zumba team, I think they all lost at least a kilo. The musica was a mix of pop and Spanish merengue which was just so inviting. Now that the demo was done and the interest in ZUMBA soared and I now even know what it is, classes will be held at EXPO WP on a regular basis. The first will be held at the EXPO WP night market starting this Tuesday night from 7pm until 10pm in preparation for the Soccer World Cup.

So all those ladies and gents who has lapsed your gym membership because gym seemed a good idea at the time but wasn't any fun, come over to EXPO WP and join in the ZUMBA classes because ZUMBA looks like double fun. Bring your sweats and towel and a bottle of water, cause you going to need it.

FUTURE STARS AT EXPO WP

Winter is fast approaching and gloomy days lie ahead but the weather this weekend was really great. Starting Friday, the indoor soccer tournament took off with a blast, with major impetus from two new sponsors. EXPO WP is destined to become "the destination" for indoor soccer leading up to the Soccer World Cup and beyond. It's needless to say that even though Capetonians are more laid-back than their northern cousins, but they are definitely more hyped up about the Soccer World Cup. Inside EXPO WP main hall and outside you can constantly hear the sounds of the vuvuselas being blown, at times it sounds like a vuvusela sound-off, with many shoppers strolling the isles, clothed in Bafana Bafana colours and I have even seen some with a plastic Soccer World Cup helmets on their heads.

Besides the indoor soccer, virtually every weekend is filled with entertainment, with numerous singers gracing the EXPO WP stage with melodious songs and music. Just last weekend, Gino and Kaashief from Tica the Salsa Band, blew everyone away with musica en Español but this Sunday it was Megan's turn, to wow the audience and she did a really good job at that. The applause was phenomenal which in my opinion was rightly deserved. Megan very closely mimicked Whitney's singing with the song she sang.

Megan is young, pretty and very talented, with a voice of an "angel". Ye' ye' you might say, what an exaggerated claim, but you don't have to take my word for it, lets rather just look at the facts since I'm not the only one of that opinion. Megan attended an audition and was unanimously selected by a panel of 5 judges to represent South Africa at the launch of the Soccer World Cup and to sing at the opening. She was selected as the solo finalist from amongst 77 participants, all of whom auditioned for the part, but Megan came out tops. What an achievement, no? Yep, now you have to agree with me about her "angelic" voice. Yes (airpunch)! Megan will be making regular visits to EXPO WP to entertain the crowd, so if you would like to hear an angel sing, do come along to EXPO WP every weekend. Should you see her on National Television then at least you can say that you already heard and saw her before at EXPO WP. Megan is going to be a sensation but even before she becomes famous, many a fan has already requested to have a photo taken with her.

Another singer who entertained the crowd at EXPO WP was young Cole. He is ten years old, sings like an adult with the moves of Michael Jackson and the songs to match. The first time I heard him, was when he sang "Ben" and he really did justice to the song. Apparently he sings numerous songs from various eras and Cole is a real joy to listen to. I've even heard a "lady at the EXPO" exclaiming "I want to take him home with me". That certainly has the makings of fame!

With all this excitement in the exhibition area, there was a Kareoke taking place in the food court, whilst shoppers were eating at their tables. Everyone was thrilled, and many a shopper part-took in the singing. EXPO WP really has it all, from GOOD FOOD to entertainment, to clothing, to photographs, to art, to curios and much, much more.

TOURISM & TRADERS EXPO | Tourism & Traders Expo

Tourism and Traders Expo is situated in Bofors Circle in Epping and is the Largest Art and Craft market in the Western Province called EXPO WP.  EXPO WP is a brand name but when I set up this blog, I registered it as WP EXPO, which from my point of view was contextually as well as grammatically correct. However after chatting the WP EXPO management I was informed that it should have been EXPO WP and not WP EXPO. Funny thing is, many of the WP EXPO vendors logged-on and search for WP EXPO, expecting to see their profiles but complained that there was no such site as WP EXPO. It seemed that everybody was under the same impression that I was -that it is WP EXPO rather than EXPO WP or at least aught to be. In order to appease management it became obligatory on me to rectify this situation hence this short piece of confusion about WP EXPO, sorry I meant EXPO WP. So there!

 As far as I'm concerned whether it is said WP EXPO or EXPO WP or written as WPEXPO or EXPO WP or even EXPO WP it shouldn't really matter because ingenious software tools can rectify the situation by sending the seeker to the correct website. So, if you interested in Art and Craft and possibly even the Soccer World Cup, go-on, Google WP EXPO and see if software is as intelligent as us humans. Talking about World Cup Soccer, Blush Media at EXPO WP  is the official supplier of Soccer World Cup parapanalia - S.A. Flags, S.A.Vuveselas, Funky helmets, T shirts, Ceramic mugs and hoards of other South African momentos.
