14th Annual Roy Tungett Horseshoe tournament

The 4th of July week means time for the annual Horseshoe Tournament. The saying "almost only counts in Horseshoes and Handgranades" is the motto this week The organizer of the tournament over the past 14 years, Mr. Tungett. He has managed to make sure everyone knows where they are supposed to be in the right order Our grand referee Mr. Tom Hixson (also known as the great god of horseshoes "Oh No". He keeps order with a golf club. The official horseshoe scoreboard Great show down between Dawn and Katie to get to the finals. Dawn had been in horseshoe training in the offseason Katie claimed to not have played in 3 years. We started to have doubts about this as she made it to the semi finals only to be taken down by Dawn in this match. She had a dead eye for the horseshoe stake but it was not enought to take out Dawn and her partner Tim In the end it came down to calling in "Oh No" to make the call The awards ceremony is always something to not miss. Everyone grabbed some dirt and followed Oh No Julia and Ryan getting instructions from Oh No... What do they do with the dirt? Throw it at Grandpa... I mean Oh No as the opening ceremony to the awards ceremony 2009 Oh No's lovely prize assistant... Son of Oh No being welcomed to the ceremony Dawn and Tim the 2nd place whiners... I mean winners displaying their prizes Our 1st place winners, Mandy Hixson and Buck Cass. Congrats to them. Once again Terry did not get on the plaque continuing a 14 year drought Our 2009 1st and 2nd place winners along with Mr Tungett and Oh No What to do after a great afternoon of horseshoes? Time for a picnic Bring your dish to pass, meat cooked promptly at 6pm or you miss the goodies on the table.
