Horseshoe pitching Annual Region Band Festival ear-mark- The following article is an excerpt from the April 1993 issue of the Southern Utah Horseshoe Pitchers Association Newsletter. For the 1992 Horseshoe Pitching Season in Southern Utah, Shirley Steffen had the most total ringers of any other person. She hit the stake with the open end of the shoes 2,930 times. J. J. Steffen tossed the most shoes totally for anyone in the association. He tossed 6,162 shoes. That is 15,405 pounds or 7.7 tons of iron. He walked in tossing those shoes 123,240 feet. Did you ever wonder why J. J. has such long arms and long legs? Now you know! After reading this article. J. J. has done some more research and has added to it. The Steffens go south for the winter months and pitch horseshoes in other states also. This is what he has tabulated for the total year of 1992: There were 9,400 shoes tossed during tournament play alone. With 2,080 shoes tossed in practice and warm up before tournament play. And 10,400 shoes tossed in ordinary routine practice during the year. This is a total of 21, 880 shoes tossed during the whole year. That makes 54,700 pounds or 27.35 tons of iron thrown. And 437,600 feet or 82.88 miles walked. During the 1992 season in the Southern Utah Association, Shirley didnt pitch quite as many tournaments as J. J., but she did get to pitch more in the south than J. J., because of his days missed from rain outs. Overall, Shirley probably pitched approximately the same number of shoes as J. J., walked the same number of miles and tossed the same tons of iron. The number of ringers she pitched, overall, would boggle the mind. Since the Steffens have been pitching horseshoes, they have pitched tournaments and promoted the game of horseshoe pitching in the many states and several countries. They have won trophys, placques, patches, andor prizes money in: Japan (2 trips), Canada (Calgary, Alberta), Hawaii (Oahu), Alaska, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas. They have also pitched in World Tournaments held in Cali- fornia, Nebraska and South Dakota. The 1993 World Tourna- ment will be held for the second time in Spearfish, South Dakota, the last two weeks of July. The Steffens plan to attend again this summer. ed San School Band Juan High joined the other nine high school bands from region On April 6, 1993, the ten high schools for the annual Region Band Festival.

Lee says bids for an investment manager will be announced when the federal money is received. The total endowment of $6 million will be used solely for scholarships. Lee says federal regulations restrict expenditures to only 50 percent of the interest income, for the next 20 years. This restriction will guarantee growth of the Endowment, Lee said. Interest generated by the funds will provide scholarships by fall quarter of 1994.
