🐴🥇 **HELP WANTED: Horseshoe Tournament Leader!** 🥇🐴

After years of running a fantastic tournament, our longtime horseshoe leaders won't be able to head it up this year and we need someone to step up and keep this beloved tradition alive!

The horseshoe tournament is a highlight of the **87th Annual Mackay FREE BBQ**, happening **Saturday, September 19th** at Tourist Park. Signup at noon, games start at 1 pm — it pretty much runs itself once someone takes the reins.

We're looking for a person, couple, or group willing to handle signups, collect entries, and keep the games moving.If you're interested (or know someone who'd be perfect), call **Mike Evans at (208) 776-0578**.

Help us keep the horseshoes flying!

At 86, Noel Johnson may quite possibly be the oldest person to summit Mount Borah. He came within 400 feet of reaching the top last year, and now he’s pleased to have completed his goal on the second attempt. 🏔️
