I am a little behind in posting this, but better late than never. 🙂
In addition to being a videographer my husband also runs after school classes and events for young yoyoers in the area. He and his friend from childhood, Colin, started the program called yoyo university and they also have a team of yoyoers, the U Team, that travels to competitions together. In addition to the after school classes and summer camps, the last two years they have put on a winter event called the Snow Down Thrown Down and just like last years event, it was a pretty big hit. Kids from all the different schools they teach at in the area come together to yoyo, participate in the different activities and also perform in the freestyle competition at the end. Prizes are given out and they all have a great time. The campers were also encouraged to bring donations of food and clothing and they donated enough to fill an entire truckload! All in all it was a huge success! Here are some shots from the day.
These are the shirts Colin designed... pretty cool.
A few guys from the U Team
Brandon, from Great Beginnings DJ Service, made the day even more fun with great music throughout the event.
Colin showed off his yoyo skills after the snack break 🙂
Abby Swancutt from Columbia Sportswear was kind enough to bring by some awesome hats that were given out as prizes as well. (Click on the photo to go to the Columbia site)
The day ended with the freestyle competition.
The judges were quite impressed. 🙂
Yeah for YoYos! 🙂
