You'll be entered into a competition to win $150 to spend at the expo. The photo or video can be something like an awesome trick/jump you've done, a picturesque photo, or an epic fail.
POINT 6 Point 6, maker of woolen apparel, is giving MNYSC members a 20% discount off their products. The code is metrony. Point 6 spent thirty years making Merino wool better. One innovation that made a huge difference: Compact Spinning. It greatly reduces loose fibers for less wear and pilling. It also creates a more compact yarn with a much softer feel. Maybe best of all, Compact Spinning makes Merino wool 25% more durable than ring-spun yarn. Visit their website Point 6
