Dear CRYSTAL STIX,

Pick us to win some stix!!!! Pleeeeeeeaaaaaase! My family is now fighting over the set that we bought at the Renaissance Festival here in Atlanta, Georgia! We love them!

When we got to the festival it began raining and since we had driven an hour to get there we decided to stay. We were determined to have fun! Some nice employees gave us garbage bags to cover ourselves and with a few umbrellas and happy hearts we were able to keep warm. To be honest, when we first saw your tent exhibit we ran to it simply because it was a covered place to go, but once we got inside and saw all of the stix and people demonstrating cool tricks we were hooked!

The enclosed pictures show my 3 boys (wearing their garbage bags to stay dry!) learning how to use the Stix. They were entranced! It's rare to find a toy or anything that all three boys are equally thrilled with! My husband picked up some Stix and I could tell I'd have 4, not 3 boys who would be totally entertained by this new discovery!

I had been trying to learn how to juggle for months and just have never been able to get the hang of it, but only after a few minutes with the Crystal Stix I was doing some of the tricks!

Needless to say, we bought a pair of Stix and the video, which we all couldn't wait to watch when we got home. What a great invention you've come up with! We all get a real kick out of the stix and try to see who can do which of the fancier tricks first. My kids think it's a crack up that they have to wait turns while Mom & Dad play a game of catch the Stix at night, while talking about their busy day.

Our only mistake was buying just one pair for the whole family to share. We hope you enjoy our pictures, but more importantly, we hope they inspire you to PICK US TO WIN some free Crystal Stix!
