Vacationing with Duct Tape!

The end of the week is near, and it seems only fitting to celebrate the greatness of duct tape before another week passes.

An Opportunity to Share
The syndicated Hints from Heloise column invites your duct tape hints/stories, the top 10 of which will be printed. Now, I hope you’d think of your favorite blogger as you’re sharing.

So I'm sure you're wanting to know if I've shared my favorite duct tape story with Heloise? I definitely will, it’s just a matter of picking which of the many favorites. It’s like picking a favorite child or a favorite book... it's hard. There is bribery involved and the "what have you done for me lately" questions. But I'll pick and submit.

Who Knew?
A 2003 report claimed duct tape sales over $100 million annually in the U.S. I’m guessing that number has jumped tremendously since the birth of this blog and my contributions to make the world a tape-ier place.

You Heard it Here First
Vacation time is rolling around, and I want to make sure you know that the dates for the third annual Avon Heritage Duct Tape Festival have been set: June 16-18. Here’s an excerpt from the web site:

Back for the third consecutive year, the Avon Heritage Duct Tape Festival honors the beloved fix-all known for its million and one uses. The three-day celebration – beginning Friday, June 16, 2006 – encourages duct tape fanatics, artists, kids and adults to salute the American staple product. Hosted in the “Duct Tape Capital” of the world and home of Duck® brand duct tape – Avon, Ohio – the celebration will boast traditional festival favorites, including rides, food, games and live entertainment.

Make your travel plans now. Will your favorite blogger be attending? Well, let’s just say that if the duct tape air plane plans I have unfold the way I hope, I’ll be there in style.

    I hereby nominate Lee Ann Duct Tape Queen for the Duct Tape Festival 2006. I will cast my vote en abscensia (my plane is flying more north this summer). By the way, are there plans for duct tape making it's way into the Victoria's Secret runway this year?

    How about giving us your duct tape stories and letting us vote on which on you send in?

    hey there, the search engine promised advice on how Victoria's Secret models use duct tape but can't find it. Was hoping for "map" of how to tape up and tape in. Is this available somewhere? Lorie
