Spectators and competitors of all abilities are welcome. There will be free events for first time competitors with prizes donated by sponsors. Top players from around the world will be competing in the Footbag Net final rounds that begin at around 3:00 pm on Sunday, June 7.There is no admission charge for spectators.

For those who don't know Wham-O has sent out two college guys (Corey and Chris) in one of those new volkswagons decorated with Wham-O logo. They are stopping at sporting goods stores and girls and boys clubs demonstrating Wham-O products including Hacky Sacks, Frisbees, Hula Hoops etc. These guys are doing a great job and the kids at the boys and girls clubs were a blast. They especially need help for demos with these big clubs. (We had 180 kids here in Austin and divided them into 3 shows with stations for each of the products). They are a little over half way into the tour and now heading to - Denver, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Las Vegas and lots of other places. Be on the lookout and show up to support them. There is also supposed to be a Wham-O web page but I haven't been able to find it. If you know its up and/or where it is please let me know. I can also give you dates for Cities from the T-Shirt they gave me if you want more specific info. .... Wishing I could go to the U.S. Open..... tina lewis.
