The fourth annual horseshoe tournament was held on July 27. Again, the weather was perfect, with a lovely breeze to blow away all of the flies and keep the temperature moderated to a very comfortable level.
Horseshoes all ready to go
This year, perhaps because the tournament was held later in the season, the attendee list was slightly smaller than in past years. However we still managed to field five solid teams.
Stiff competition!
Some of the teams showed off their photogenic qualities while everyone was still smiling before the competition really started to get fierce.

Sharing stories of ringers that weren't
Following some tall stories, we started our annual BBQ with kebabs for everyone complemented by lovely salads and desserts brought by the competitors.
The annual tournament slowly drifted off into the night...
