The 2009 Midwest Regional event was held on June 20, 2009 at the Mall of America. In total, we had 44 competitors playing in all divisions. Amazing skill was on display as well as a ton of fun was had by all.
Dave Schulte attempted a Guinness World Record at the mid-point in the contest. After a lengthy Guinness review, he was successful with a time of 1:33 to ‘knock 15 coins off of the ear with a yo-yo’.
