Cal States 2010 Wrap-Up

WHAT A DAY!
Apx $7000 of yoyo sales between the five vendors,
Over 100 competitors, some from as far as Hawaii and Japan
2 New Champions! Congrats to Patrick Mitchel ( SEVEN TIME CAL STATE CHAMPION!!!!!) and Jensen Kimmit who won the divisions and grand prize. Paul Han also gets a huge nod since he was the top ranking California Resident. That makes him the California State 1a Champion title holder!
Seven TV News stations (Including Telemundo!), three newspapers, two new champions, big prizes, and early reports from the mall, TONS of attendees. While I was on the stage doing the MC work, there were so many people on both the top level and plaza. It was a great time, and in my opinion the perfect venue for something like this!
- >> KEYC CBS 12
- >> Good Day Sacramento
- >> CBS 13 News
- >> ABC 7 Sac Francisco
- >> WDEF 12 (after the dog clip)
- >> WRDW ABC Augusta Ga
- >> CNN National News (at the 9 minute Mark)
Here are some of the pictures I took. I had two photographers there, so more is coming, I am also sure that other people, who were less occupied than me, will have taken great pictures also. I will add them as I get them.
Thank you to all our sponsors. Everyone was so generous. Starbucks even gave the judges and volunteers free drinks all day. It was great!
My first contest of this size I have ever run, and so much fun.
Thank you everyone!
