Tribute team member Haley Bishoff teamed up with Molly Harney & Carolina Herrera in Porltand, OR to host the first ever All Girls Kendama Event in the US! The purpose of this event is to expand kendama as a whole, to create a platform for women in the community and give girls the confidence to compete and grow as kendama players. Every single person who attended this event supported us in one way or another, and we are so thankful for that. The All Girls Kendama Event in the US is the first of it's kind and surely will not be the last. Congrats to Miya Song for taking 1st in the Open Division! Huge shout out to all the sponsors of this event, Portland Pastimes & Velo Cult for donating their space, Dave Mateo for filming/shooting, Arque Richards for her hospitality, Yuka Hyuga for help with event planning, and every single person who came out to the event! See you next year. Kendama Play: Haley Bishoff Miya Song Emmy Evans Carolina Herrera Darlene De La Paz Filmed & Edited: Dave Mateo
