@texaskendamaopen recap🥳

3rd year participating in this amazing festival held by @japanamericahouston this place is amazing‼️

If you ever get the chance to make it out you won’t be disappointed, every volunteer and staff member are so nice and helpful. The food is always on point, and o yea a Kendama competition plus so much more 😎

Without the support and love from my team @acidlabskendama I wouldn’t of had these 3 years of amazing experiences meeting new people, growing bonds that’ll last a lifetime and most importantly the memories I’ll never forget ❤️

Thank you to all who put in their part for this event every single one of you are so appreciated‼️
