What a great gathering in Miamisburg! I certainly enjoyed spending time with everyone. Thanks to all who shared their tops and knowledge (and patience...). Thanks for John's welcome to Cincinnati and Mike's to his museum. Can we do it all again this weekend?

I know I'd like to!   ;D

2017 was another great year at the Top festival.  I tried to make time to get all of the pics and vids processed.  They were actually finished earlier this week, but I wanted to update the website first.  That part has not happened yet, ugh.  But the good news is I have links available to all of the stuff.  Hope you all enjoy.

Facebook pics here - Use this to tag yourself and friends :)  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10156072875368273.1073742094.682508272&type=1&l=921ed869fb

Flickr pics here - for those that do not have Facebook :)    https://flic.kr/s/aHsm23aZWq

Finally all of the vids - there are some jewels in there, but you will have to look for them :) 

I will let you know when the website is updated - of course you can look at all of the past events going back to 2005, when I jumped on board with Mike.  :)  http://www.miamisburg.org/tops.htm

I enjoyed hanging out with you all at the church before the event.  It provides some of the best fun of the day. 

My son hung out with me the entire evening and finished 2nd.  It was a lot of fun for him.  Plus he enjoyed Bullwinkles and the Top Museum.  It was actually the first time I made it there... what an awesome place.  The Top bathroom was awesome :)

This event really is a lot of fun and I am looking forward to next year and the 200th anniversary of Miamisburg.  Plus it is exciting with the possibility of Nationals happening here :)

Looking forward to seeing everyone next year and those that did not make it this year.

Great pictures, Jay. I felt like I did get to attend the top festival again this weekend. I have looked through the videos yet. Looking forward to it!

Sorry, Kirk, that you have missed the outdoor bathroom that is indoors in the garage.  It is pretty old and, obviously, was here when we bought the place.  It is kind of like having an outhouse in house.  I just happened to go that way and some others followed.  I will be sure to show you next time!

Just worked on the bulletins for Sunday and saw something I forgot to mention.  This is probably a first.  On our top fest weekend the bulletins for that Sunday were given in honor of ITSA and all the great work done for the top spinning community.  This is on our signup sheet and printed in all the bulletins that week.

We lost the Bullwinkle's bumper tops posts with the server crash, but I had to re-upload it.



Those who have gone to the fest know about the traditional dinner at Miamisburg's original Bullwinkle's Top Hat Bistro.
