This June, we were able to attend the Duct Tape Festival<\/a> in Avon, OH. It was fabulous! Carnival food, carnival rides staffed by authentic carnies, and Duct Tape Crafts<\/a>!! I made a fabulous green and black purse<\/a>. It’s a high-fashion design that can only fit my camera and phone – no wallet. \ud83d\ude09
\nI got a bag of cotton candy and we drank beer and ate cotton candy while watching Johnny Cash live on stage<\/a>. It made for a fabulous date night. There was also a “Living Statue”<\/a> who moved through the grounds; he was a lot of fun to watch. <\/p>\n

Every year Henkel<\/a> sponsors the Stuck at Prom<\/a> contest where couples create and wear prom attire made entirely of duct tape. Each lucky winner receives $3000 in scholarship money, plus the fame of having the coolest duct tape outfit in the country! We saw one couple<\/a> walking around the festival. They apparently spent a lot of time explaining to people how they made their outfits. My favorites included Spreading our Wings<\/a>, Copperleaf & Bailing Wire<\/a>, Public Enemies<\/a>, and Rose and Butterfly<\/a>. You can view all 2009 submissions here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\t\t
