Indiana State Fair

---

Congrats and thanks to all those who participated in the first weigh-off at the Indiana State Fair (sponsored by the IPGA).  We had 16 entries from three states (One from Wisconsin, three from Ohio & 12 from Indiana).  Here are the results:

 

1.                     John Barenie, IN                    635 lbs

2.                     Brad Walters, IN                   612 lbs

3.                     Mark Pistono, WI                   600 lbs

4.                     Winston Wyckoff, OH           547 lbs

5.                     Bill Hughes, IN                       493 lbs

6.                     Dave Beachy, IN                   491 lbs

7.                     John Maston, OH                  341 lbs

8.                     Bruce Gatewood, IN              293 lbs

9.                     Gus Smithhisler, OH             286 lbs

10.                 Jim Gatewood, IN                  285 lbs

11.                 Mark Seest, IN                       272 lbs

12.                 Bill Gatewood, IN                   261 lbs

13.                 Jim Gatewood, IN                  210 lbs

14.                 Tom Beachy, IN                    202 lbs

15.                 Bill Skidmore, IN                    202 lbs

16.                 Pat Hansen, IN                      192 lbs

 

Forgive me if the numbers are not 100% correct on some of them, I was reading them off a digital picture.  It was interesting that the top three were within 35 lbs.  And there were several others that were real close in weight, including two at 202 lbs. (It’s a Beachy thing). 

 

Also, I did want to include my condolences to those who were unable to bring fruit to the competition.  We had 24 early entries, but 8 could not bring a fruit.
