Everyone has a good use for duct tape. Avon, Ohio, pays tribute to the handyman’s staple by hosting a festival dedicated to the tape each June. The first few to arrive receive a free roll, and one of the best events to attend is the duct tape-themed fashion show. Known as the “Duct Tape Capital” of the world, Avon is proud to be the home of the famous Duck brand of duct tape. Be sure to watch the parade, which is full of duct tape-covered floats. There are also plenty of rides, games and food. It’s a great way to spend Father’s Day.
