I traveled up to Kenwood California in July of 2003 and 2004 to compete in the World Pillow Fight Championships with my good friend Jeff (Fingers) Purcell. Though we put up quite a fight we didn't make it too far into the tournament. I found it extremely hard to balance on the rolling pipe while trying to swing a soggy pillow. Unfortunately in 2005 we were too busy with Footy to swing pillows. 2006 is rumored to be the last year of the Pillow Fights.

 

Kenwood 4th of July Celebration

 


The 37th Annual World Pillow Fighting Championships is still the best fun to have on the 4th of July. Every year grown men and women straddle the 'Slippery When Wet' pole and try to hang on for a title (mostly just hang on to the pole). The audience always has a great time watching contestants slowly slither their way along the pole to the starting position while trying to keep their balance and holding onto a wet feather pillow in one hand and nothing but air in the other. If you have never tried it, it is harder than it looks. Our Champions manage to make it look so easy that everyone wants to have a swing at it. If you have never been to the Kenwood Pillow Fights, you have to try it at least once. Now in it's 37th year it is still going strong.
