Southern Nevada horseshoe pitchers shine at annual Vegas Spring Fling
Over the past weekend in Las Vegas, 25 pitchers from the Nevada State Horseshoe Pitching Association stepped up to the pits to throw their best ringers.
Held during the annual Vegas Spring Fling at the Jaycee Leavitt Community Park horseshoe courts, four classes competed head-to-head, with class D being the only handicapped class.
With a bit of a gusty breeze and winds blowing in from the northeast, the sun was able to make a guest appearance long enough for participants to enjoy the event without getting chilly.
Winning the 50/50 raffle grand prize, Larry Workman from Henderson was awarded $170.
Slated to be held on Mar. 28 in Pahrump at 10 a.m., the next NSHPA tournament will be hosting a potluck lunch.
NSHPA regional director Lathan “Rebel” Dilger encourages all who participate in the tournament to please bring at least one food dish.
