My daughter (and son off camera) giving visitors little "Australian-branded" presents (key-rings and fridge-magnets featuring Australian animals, street signs, etc...) on behalf of the Australian Cartoonists' Association. People really liked that. By the end of the day, both my kids were well known around the room!

Yes, you see it right, the roundabout at Saint Just le Martel boasts giant colour pencils!
Unfortunately, the local priest died recently. He was a strong supporter of the Festival and a plaque was unveiled during the week to honour him...

Here comes "Justine", the mascot of the Festival. The story goes that Justine has been the mascot for years and has traveled far and wide around France to advertise the Festival. Going as far as taking the Paris Metro and climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Now, it's not something you would see every day!
Winner of the "Humour Vache" prize
If I recall, I did a tiger for this little customer, as per his request...
