Qualatex Vampire Contest
Woody Burger sent some 16 Inch Vampire Prints that Mrs. Stretch thought would be great for a contest. She figured that it isn’t very often that we have such a large contingent of top twisters at a jam and decided that they should all enter a contest. She took the 9 infamous, oops, I mean famous, top twisters and had them divide into 3 teams of 3 twisters each. Each team was given a bag of balloons and 10 minutes to make a vampire using only the balloons they were given.
The teams consisted of the following groups:
| Team A Keith Hughes Mack Painter James Anderson | Team B David McCullough Pat Crosland John Christianson | Team C John Holmes Linda Berman Stretch |
The twisters gathered for a photo before the contest started.
