We were very fortunate to have a good turn-out for BRCIKSPO this year (1435 people as previously mentioned). However, we never expected to find ourselves posted on Youtube!

A big THANKS goes to user sasklegoboy on Youtube who posted two videos from the show! In the first video, he takes a tour around some of the tables looking at the creations that interest him. The second video is a collection of stills from the show set to a hip-hopin' soundtrack! Check them out!
