Hosted in Avon, Ohio, proclaimed “Duct Tape Capital of the World,” the festival boasted traditional favorites along with a few unique and sticky twists. The weekend-long event brought duct tape creativity to life as duct tape artists displayed their hand-crafted adhesive attire for all to see. Kids and adults were able to try their hand at crafting under the teachings of duct tape sculptor, Todd Scott, and pass the time listening to the taping tales of The Duct Tape Guys. The final show to hit the Main Stage was the Duct Tape Fashion Show, featuring a variety of duct tape high-fashion designs. Festival-goers also witnessed the crowning of this year’s Duck® brand duct tape Dad of the Year. From Washington to Florida, kids across the country nominated their dads for the prestigious honor by submitting an original essay detailing their dad’s loyalty to the favored fix- all and the wacky and practical ways he has used it. -more- Duct Tape Festival/ Page 2 of 2 Paul Ford of Palm Harbor, Fla., snagged the esteemed award, and with his royal title was awarded a $500 cash prize and a year’s supply of Duck brand duct tape.
