This June, we were able to attend the Duct Tape Festival in Avon, OH. It was fabulous! Carnival food, carnival rides staffed by authentic carnies, and Duct Tape Crafts!! I made a fabulous green and black purse. It’s a high-fashion design that can only fit my camera and phone – no wallet. 😉
I got a bag of cotton candy and we drank beer and ate cotton candy while watching Johnny Cash live on stage. It made for a fabulous date night. There was also a “Living Statue” who moved through the grounds; he was a lot of fun to watch.
Every year Henkel sponsors the Stuck at Prom 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 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, Copperleaf & Bailing Wire, Public Enemies, and Rose and Butterfly. You can view all 2009 submissions here.
Really? a Duck Tape festival.. as in 100MPH fix it all tape? We will never run out of reasons to have a festival, will we ? 😉

Duct tape is also good for removing warts! I love the Spreading Out Wings entry. Very pretty!
