Bald Hill Horseshoe Association

The Bald Hill Horseshoe Association was organized in 1967, with volunteer labor and a sum of $200 from the Hannaford Village Board.  A court was nearly completed the first year and each yeas many improvements have been made.  This court is located in the northwestern part of town.  It is nearly surrounded by trees and is said to be one of the nicest courts in North Dakota.  There is seating available for spectators and at tournament time a lunch stand is in operation.

The first officers elected were Wallace Rislov president; Richard Johnson, vice president; Milford Gronneberg, secretary; and Jake Jacobson, treasurer.

Beginning in 1968, an open tournament has been held each year.  People from several states have participated.  Danny Kuchinski, 18-year-old world champion, participated in the 1968 tournament.  Horseshoe leagues have been formed and at this time about 35 people are participating.
