Now that we are in to November, the hints of the holidays are starting to show up everywhere. Music, lights, shopping.. and even twirling contests! It is time to get ready to celebrate the holidays in the Austin, TX area with all your favorite twirling friends.

Today our Contest Calendar Series is about the 2018 ATX Holiday Twirl Fest!

Note from the Directors: "If anyone is having trouble with the online registration, please let us know and we can make other arrangements to send us a picture of the paper copy. We know some people aren't as inclined to use online registrations, and we don't want anyone to miss out on the contest because of that, so as long as they communicate with us before Friday, we can make it happen!"

For more information, please contact the contest directors at atxtwirlfest@gmail.com

CONTEST HASHTAG! #atxtwirlfest2018
For this event we strongly encourage our Texas Twirlers to utilize the hashtag #atxtwirlfest2018 when posting photos of the competition weekend on social media. Use the hashtag and your photo could end up on this blog or the contest site! Don't forget to tag @twirlingiscatchingtx on Facebook or Instagram and we may share your pic on one of our pages.

Highlighted Event - Originally created to honor contest director, Ashley Wood's, mother, who fought and defeated Breast Cancer in 2015, and to celebrate all the women in our twirling community that have overcome so much, there is a special Best Costume event. The "Laura Craft Honorary Best Costume" competition puts all ages against each other to judge who has the "best costume". The entry fee for this event ($10) is a direct donation to Twirling to Fight Cancer. TTFC Founder, John Baton Mitchell, will once again be judging at the contest, and will be there to accept the donation check. Last year this event raised $450.00 for TTFC... Can they pull off a bigger donation this year?

Congrats to Khloe Page, the recipient of the 2017 Best Costume Award
