Duct Tape Festival

After over a year of waiting I finally went to the Duct Tape Festival! It really is amazing what you can do with duct tape. On my way to the parade in the morning the police had blocked off the street you need to drive down to access the park where you park your car for the festival. I wasn't sure what I should do so I went up to one of the officers and asked him where should I park since the parking lot was blocked off. He looked at me like the answer was obvious, just drive around the police barricade and drive into the park. Duh. Apparently I take police barricades too seriously. The Duck Brand Duct Tape employees did a great job with the duct tape part of the festival. There was a craft tent with different colors of duct tape and Duck employees teaching kids how to make wallets and roses. They had photos of duct tape prom outfits (go to www.stuckatprom.com to vote for your favorite) and a guy that makes duct tape art. They had a guy demonstrating Frog Tape, duct tape for painters which was pretty cool stuff. Throughout the festival there were duct tape art pieces that were part of a scavenger hunt. Everything was covered in duct tape! I feel like I've typed "duct" and "duck" way too many times for one blog entry so I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking.
