Serving O'Brien & Clay Counties
The competition drew throwers from near and far.
Last Sunday the Memorial Park "Lions Grove" horseshoe pits hosted players from across the state and as far as North Dakota.
The Iowa Hawkeye Horseshoe Pitching Association (IHHPA) threw their annual Clay County Invitational to a small but mighty crowd of participants. Bringing home first place was Tom Stensland, of Forest City, winning five out of his five games played. Second place was Mark Gilbertson, of Fargo, N.D., who won four out of five, and third place went to Shawn Rettig, of Spencer, who had a three-game win. The top three prize-winners split a 100 percent cash payout from entry fees.
A free will donation lunch was offered by Royal Lions Club to end the event.
