This Saturday’s upcoming California State Yo-Yo Championships has been hitting the headlines hard in the Bay Area. The SF Chronicle interviews Bill DeBoisblanc and Doctor Popular (link to article and video below). Seeing yo-yoing in print makes us giddy.

Didn’t make it to Florida? Couldn’t bear playing with cotton string in that humidity? No worries. We’ve got the best of the best right here.
YoYoNation.com is proud to present videos of the finalists for the 2007 World Yo-Yo Contest.
The Golden State has a lot of things going for it, not the least of which is an awesome state cheese campaign. Alas, what to do when you’ve had your fill of cheese, gone to Disneyland, eaten your way through San Francisco, and are just twiddling your thumbs waiting for September 8 to roll around?
Head to the 154th California State Fair, of course, where this weekend you can check out Takeshi, Paul Han, and Stupendous doing their thing alongside the 4H livestock and rodeo shows. While the performers will be roaming the fairgrounds all weekend, check the calendar for official performance times on Saturday and Sunday. As part of the Toytopia: World of Toys exhibit, Duncan is also sending in their 20′ inflatable yo-yo along with tons of special State Fair ProYo IIs (see below) as giveaways to the first 1,500 in line at 10am on Saturday.
