Suffolk Peanut Festival Yo-Yo Contest in the News!

Katelyn Anton at Suffolk Peanut Festival Yo-Yo Contest 2007

It was a good time to be in Suffolk this weekend with an AYYA-sanctioned yo-yo contest taking place at the 30th Annual Suffolk Peanut Festival (”in a nutshell, fun!”) in Suffolk, Virginia.

The Virginian-Pilot interviewed Katelyn Anton, Tyler Severance, and Danny Severance.

Organized by Joey Fleshman and Mikhail Tulabut (and sponsored in part by YoYoNation), the contest drew about 30 competitors and was one of the less hazardous events at this weekend’s festival.

Congrats to all who participated!

    Neat, the first thing I thought when I saw this pic was “Gosh it’s windy”. then I realized he was doing an eli hop.

    Sort of like this cat.
