2005 Yo-Yo Contest News Story / 1st Yo Down Show Down - Luke Renner
The 20th Yo Down Show Down contest/meet-up is coming up in Farmington, New Mexico on Friday, July 4th. The contest is a pretty relaxed free event to promote the “Art of Yo!” in the Four Corners and encourage more people to try string slinging. This event is geared to meeting other players in the area and having fun! I’m trying to get the word out about the contest to area players so feel free to forward this information/share the post. Sponsored by: YoYoExpert, Duncan Toys, and Yomega. Event is during a July 4th Ice Cream Social at the museum.
Location: E3 Children’s Museum
302 N. Orchard
Farmington, New Mexico
Registration from noon - 1pm.
Contest begins promptly at 1:30pm
Recap on the 20th Yo Down Down - New Mexico’s longest running free Yo-Yo contest - Special Thanks to Duncan Toys, Yomega and YoYoExpert for the support. Duncan Toys and Yomega were there in 2005 great to have YoYoExpert’s support in 2025. This year the longest distance traveled was a little over 400 miles by a returning competitor.
Very cool event!! It’s awesome a fixed axle wizard like you is sustaining an event in this crazy unresponsive world we live in today. It’s a thankless job to stage an event like this, but I thank you.
