2011 Event Almost Here!

Attendees of 2010 tournament!

Hi all. Hope you are as excited as we are for this year's SHIT. We have new players and two are traveling all of the way from Nebraska and Wyoming. People are trash talking and declaring victory before the even has even begun, so I expect the play to be fierce.

Once again, ESPN - the Ocho will be televising the event with Stonewall Brewing Company as this year's sponsor. This year's official brews are a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and surprise custom brew from Stonewall Brewing Company. A new food tent has arrived for this year's event to make the tasty treats even tastier!

So all I can say is: Game On and may the best player win!
(Hint: good buzz management helps a lot as well)

Sign up now damnit!

I'm setting up the brackets this week.  I need to know who is in. Email me your team members and team name.  If I don't hear from you, you may miss out on the most exciting event of the year.

Time to sign up

Entries for the 7th annual Stonington Horseshoe Invitational Tournament will now be accepted.  The tournament is open to 16 teams  who think they have what it takes to compete with some of the finest horseshoe pitchers of New England.  Enter by emailing me or posting a comment on the blog.  The tournament will be held on Saturday July 10th.  Don't delay, the field will fill up fast.

2010 Save the Date

It's that time of year. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming and horseshoes are flying. This year's 7th annual Stonington Horseshoe Invitational Tournament will be held on Saturday July 10th.

A new addition for the post tournament porch sitting is the Red Ryder BB gun that Santa brought this year. Heather will be in charge of deciding whether we are sober enough to use it. We don't want any eyes shot out.

The pits have had a good spring cleaning and are ready for action. As always, the shoes are available for practice. Several people have already taken advantage of this exciting opportunity, so don't be a stranger.

Sincerely,

Tim Williams

Here are the Brackets

The brackets are set. If you didn't sign up, don't worry, I'm sure someone will back out. If you plan on backing out please let me know now so that I can find a replacement. Backing out the day of the tournament is bad form. CLICK on the image to view it.
