Barnwarming Candidates Spend the Night with Nuttin' but A Game of Horsehoes

On Wednesday, Sept. 29, 2004, the Independent Aggies held a Washers Tournament at Trowbridge Arena. The Tournament was held as part of the Ag. Week festivities and some “good clean fun.”

After about three and a half hours of ring tossing, two teams, Ag. Week 1 took first place and GDI teams took second and third. First place winners took home $40, second place took $30 and third place took $20. Teams earned spirit points for their clubs. The club with the most points is given the Spirit Award. King and queen candidates for barnwarming also received 25 points for attending the event.

“It’s a blast. Everyone comes in and has a great time,” said Matt Beach, president of the Independent Aggies.

Washers is a game much like horseshoes, except players throw
metal washers into a wooden box with a cylinder in the middle. A Team got three points for landing the washer in the cylinder and two points for landing the washer in the box. Teams play until someone accumulates twenty-one points total.

Any Agriculture student is able to participate in the tournament. This year about 40 teams participated in the event. Most players received points for an agricultural Club or a Greek community.
