“We are looking forward to working with the Erie Sports Commission again to host this event,” said Mitch Silver, Owner of YoYoSam. “The move to the Bayfront Convention Center gives us the opportunity to grow into a much larger contest. We hope that the Erie community will come out strong to support the elite Yo-Yo talent from throughout the region.”

“We’re excited to team up with Mitch and YoYoSam as they host their second straight Pennsylvania State Yo-Yo Competition,” said Ron Sertz, Executive Director of the Erie Sports Commission. “The event made great strides in its first year as it showcased some of the best yo-yo enthusiasts from the state. With the largest yo-yo store in the world located in Fairview, it’s only natural for Erie to host this event. We hope to continue to grow it year after year.”
