2010 HILLSDALE COUNTY FAIR TOURNAMENTS FEATURE LOCAL HORSESHOE PITCHERS
The weather during the 2010 Hillsdale County Fair was good overall. Even with a little rain and winds all 9 of the scheduled horseshoe tournaments were completed with increased participants according to Jack Erwin, Tournament Coordinator. Ken Schmucker served as the tournament clerk keeping tab on all the results. Bill Tedrick provided the daily watermelon and made photos of all the class first and second place winners. Results were emailed to the Hillsdale Daily each evening. Danny Ringman, provided his RV as the Tournament Office for the week.
Saturday featured a free lunch with the Hillsdale Fairground Horseshoe Club providing the goodies that were served by a number of club members. The light rain and cool temperatures took some of the enjoyment away, but it was still a good conclusion for the tournament.
We greeted
several horseshoe players from Ohio including Buck and Marlene Cooper, John
Winszeler, Olen Stuzman, Ed Wasuman and perhaps others. We also greeted a
contingent from the Jackson County Horseshoe Club including Carl Rennells,
the club president.
TRAVIS RINGMAN NAMED MVP
The star of
the
2-10 Tournament was Travis Ringman, a Jr. pitcher, that placed first or
second in four of the nine tournaments. Congratulations Travis on this excellent
record! Travis is a Jr. pitcher that is a devoted member of the Hillsdale
Fairground Horseshoe Club where he has developed an outstanding summer league
ringer percentage. During the 2010 Hillsdale County Fair Tournaments he pitched
in all nine of the scheduled tournaments placing either first or second in four
of the nine tournaments. In addition Travis earned the State Championship
honors in the Boy's Jr. Class at Kalamazoo State Championship Tournament in
September. With this outstanding record we proudly name Travis Ringman
the MVP at the 2010 Hillsdale County Fair
Horseshoe Tournaments!
