It’s coming faster than you think, well faster than I think anyway. This Sunday August 22nd I will be attempting a Guinness World Record for the longest yo-yo throw. The whole thing takes place at Jones Park downtown Appleton. Starting at 3:00pm Mike and I will be doing a show with the 4-story tall yo-yo trick to follow. Also, there will be free refreshments, cotton candy, popcorn, and lemonade for everyone. Find more details on the calendar page.

State Assembly candidate Howard Miller will be present to meet the public and verify the yo-yo attempt. Donations will be accepted for that campaign.

I have been practicing like a mad man, but still have a long way to go, here are some pics.  Come see if yo-yo history can be made right here in the Fox Valley. See you there.
