On Saturday, July 14, nineteen happy contestants joined us on the shore of Corcoran Pond for our 2nd Annual Rey Center Rock Skipping Contest! Plinkers, pittypats, plonks and gerplunkers abounded as each contestant stepped up to the edge of the pond to show off their skipping skills with their chukker. The best skip of the day occurred during the skip-off for third place in the Hopper division (ages 7-13) when Owen Sheehan came up with 8 skips! The winners in each division are pictured below.
Many thanks to our fantastic judges: Nichole Foster, Ray Kucharski and Dotti Larsson! The day would not have been possible without them. Huge thanks also goes to Jeremy "Rock-it" Phillips for emceeing the contest and to Jordann Landa for volunteering to be our scorecard runner!
