It all started on June 21st, Aboriginal Day of 2011. Lianne Jones and myself were in a discussion about the idea of having a specific day to celebrate races, mothers, people, queens and presidents. It dawned on us that there was not a day dedicated to those of us fortunate enough to be blessed with a height of over 6' tall. October 1st was the 1st annual Too Tall Party to celebrate our height.

Awards were given for tallest natural person, tallest person, longest femur, longest eye lashes, and a variety of other tall/longest things.

| Too Tall Jamal |
Too Tall Jamal was built as our front door Harlem Globtrotter greeter and stood at a height of 8 feet tall. Each attendee was "heighted" in upon arrival.
The shortest guest stood at three feet tall, and that was Rukus.

| Judine at 7' 9" |
The lallest person award was given to Judine, who stood at a height of 7'9". Fantastic effort by everyone, especially the stilts and wood block shoes made by a few. We had such a good time. Too bad I wiped out and sprained my ankle wearing high heels... I guess it just was never meant to be.
