10 y.o. Bubble blower could pop into national competition
Published: June 13, 2005
A 10-year-old Griffith boy didn’t blow his shot at the big time.
Kyle Demaree blew a 10 1/2-inch bubble at a local contest that could land him a spot in the Dubble Bubble National Bubble Blowing Contest.
He walked away with a trophy and backpack for beating about 100 other children in the local contest Saturday.
The top five bubble-blowers from local competitions will compete in the national finals in August for the grand prize of a $10,000 savings bond and a $1,000 donation on the winner’s behalf to the Children’s Miracle Network. Four runners-up will receive a $5,000 U.S. savings bond and $1,000 donations made in their name.
Last year’s national winner was a 12-year-old Arkansas girl who blew an 181/2-inch bubble.
Local contest participants used different bubble-blowing techniques. Some said the key is chewing the gum for a long time to break down the sugar. Others said three pieces of gum work better than one or two.
“I blew it slow,” said 11-year-old Tanner Barham, Griffith, whose biggest bubble was 91/2 inches.
