Duct Tape Festival

It seems that weeks can go by without a single blog worthy event. I have to really use my imagination (which is a brain strain for me) or else bore all my readers in order to create a post. And then... BOOM! a thousand things happen in a few days time. Okay, maybe not a thousand but lets recap this week-end: Dance dress rehearsals, Safety Town grad, Dance Recital Part I, Duct Tape parade & festival, Dance Recital Part II, animal sightings at Sandy Ridge.... I already posted about safety town and over the next couple of days, I'll finish the posts on dance and our fun nature walk.

Avon is very proud to be the home of Duck Brand Duct Tape. About 4 years ago the Henkel company started the Duct Tape Festival. It has put our small farm town turned suburbia on the map. People literally come from all over to see it. Once my Dad was out of town during the festival and heard it mentioned on the radio hundreds of miles from here. It is always held Father's Day week-end and some lucky Dad is pronounced the Duct Tape Dad of the year. (Although its a shame its not open to moms cause my mom can fix anything with Duct Tape.) If the Storm boys and I had any pictures of our road trip to BYU/Ricks one year, we'd make a good commercial. I had purchased a rackless car top carrier so we could take more stuff out to college. About an hour down the road the buckle broke and it fell off. Luckily we had a roll of Duct Tape handy and we taped it back down. It actually made it all the way to Provo without any more problems!!!! Anyway, here's some pictures from the week-end and a short video of the moving statue man.
