Description
All wound up with nothing to do? Swing by the Exploratorium on September 8th, beginning at 10am, for the 2007 California State Yo-Yo Championships. Meet National and World Yo-Yo Champions. See and learn amazing tricks, like "Atom Smasher," "Boingy Boingy," and "Walk the Dog." This event is included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium. Registration is open to the public and begins at 10:00 am. Winners will qualify for next year's regional tournament.

In keeping with California’s rich Yo-Yo heritage, this competition promises to be one of the best venues to witness all that is yo-yo. Be sure to stick around for scientific and educational demonstrations, as well as the main attraction: the freestyle divisions, where players take to the stage and perform a synchronized 3-minute routine set to music.
