and
Horseshoe Tournament

July 23, 2005


The 2nd annual Sweet Dreams, Stuarts Draft Festival held July 23rd was a huge success for the community and the residents of Augusta County. Ken Jacobsen and Kathy McQuain from Augusta County Parks and Recreation, along with many support staff and community volunteers, coordinated it all - from vendor set up and parking, to event timing and announcements. Their efforts resulted in a day of activities that never paused, rolling smoothly from one to the next. The support from area businesses was outstanding, and their contributions assisted immensely to make this a successful event.

Kathy presided over the official opening of the day at the Stuarts Draft Park, at the same time as Ken and his assistants were coordinating the kickoff events over at Schneider Park and McKee. At Schneider, the

Wanted
For distributing horseshoes on the Eastern Seaboard.
He goes by the name of "Pork"



The IHP (Internal Horseshoe Police) in North and South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia and West Virginia are actively seeking this man. He has harassed our NHPA President, Paul Stewart on several occasions about the "Iron Hog". The Internal Horseshoe Police would appreciate your help in finding this man, call them at at 1-800-Iloveshoes or 1-803-684-1453.

He has been known to carry shoes and willingly sell them to anyone. The pickup sticks he has will kill with laughter. Armed with measuring sticks he could be dangerous. His web site www.porksshoeshack.com is loaded with those items we desperately seek. If you have seen this man, contact the IHP and pat on him on the back for becoming the NHPA Distributor for our region.

An  informant has told the IHP that “Pork” will rooting around in the Stuarts Draft area during the Virginia State Singles.

Be on the look out for Ron Taylor!
