Duct Tape Festival

(Avon, Ohio) Mark your calendars, folks. Much excitement planned for Father's Day weekend, June 19-20, at the Avon Heritage Duct Tape Festival.
"Hey, we're the duct tape capital of the U.S.," said Avon Mayor Jim Smith. "It's true. Sixty percent of the duct tape goes through Avon."
As the world headquarters for Henkel Consumer Adhesives, the largest manufacturer of duct tape, Avon is the logical venue for the celebration. Planned activities include:
- A parade with floats of duct tape-sculptures,
- Duct tape fashion show,
- Crowning of the Duct Tape Dad of the Year, and
- Traditional food booths, rides and a car show.
The festival is the first of the planned annual event and I suspect it will be a popular general interest news item.
