NC States 2015

here is the email…

Good afternoon,

I stumbled upon the Yo-yo Contest website, and I wanted to reach out to you today and see if you would be interested in North Carolina for any of your upcoming competitions.

My job is to promote tourism to Cabarrus County, which is just north of Charlotte, NC, by bringing in sporting events. I work with event organizers to find venues and anything else they may need. We have some great venues and hotels that I’d love to show you!

If you’re interested in bringing any event to a new location, I’d love to talk to you about what your event needs are, if Cabarrus County is able to accommodate, and the benefits of choosing our county!

Thank you for your time,

Danielle Kijowski

Well if they want to run it, that’s cool with me.
I don’t have any contacts in that area, but I’d be happy to help.

That is not far from the club in Moorseville so I’m sure they would be interested too.

Ooh. Wake Forest is kinda far, but I’ll be there if it happens. What do you need me to do? I live in Charlotte. I can email potential sponsors, but I need a leader or someone who will step up so taht I can lead them there and keep the ball rollin’.

I think that is where we are all kind of at.
To sum up, we have two possible venues (wake Forest or the Concord area) and several people willing to help with sponsors or making contact with people.

But we need someone to help us with the actual contest logistics.
Things like judges and so forth.
I’ve never been to a yoyo contest so I’m not even sure what it should look like.

I know that ed lives in NC and he has judged, and he said he’ll be happy to. But we’re going to need more than one.

He could do Head Judge and MC.

Right now, we need to contact Danielle Kijowski and work together in trying to do a contest. I don’t feel right doing it since I am really far away from any potential locations.

lol dude it’s okay we got this… all the things that can be done will be, don’t worry about it. BTW do you have a yoyo contest in your state?

Nope

If you guys want to do Concord I’ll be happy to help however I can from a couple hours away.

With a three week old, I’m out for planning anything on my own for this year.
I’ll be happy to help if someone (or group) wants to head it up.

I am thinking about maybe Spring 2016 though.
I might be getting full nights of sleep by then, and personally the Spring is more open for me than the Fall.

I would be willing to go if this can happen - Collin from yotrick may be a\ble to be a judge and yoyofficer might be able to sponsor - the sponsored PA states and NY states.
