| "Come rain or shine the show did go on and I have to give David credit for this as he said that people had come to see him perform and that is what he wanted to do despite the weather conditions.
The media loved this new spectacle at an agricultural show and our local newspaper produced a cartoon dedicated to the “cannonball man”. Quite a coup for someone from overseas in Norfolk! One of our photographers also sent a remarkable photograph of David’s projectile from the cannon in a perfect arc which appeared in one of the national newspapers, another first for Norfolk. Local radio also interviewed David which I am sure helped to pull in the crowds.
But the best thing of all were the wonderful comments from visitors to the show. We did not have a record crowd this year due to the bad weather forecasts, but it was the content of the show which made them all agree that it was “the best Royal Norfolk Show ever”. This I am sure was due to the amazing Cannonball Man – Dave the Bullet Smith, and we can’t wait to have him back again."
