Six rounds were completed by five tables with total points resulting in the following winners at the pinochle tournament held on Sunday, October 25th at the Mint. High round (four hands) for the day went to Roberta Whetham and Kristi Davidson with a 1960! There were a few other high rounds, but a lot more grumbling about “just can’t get the cards, etc. etc.”
All wished Laurence Ophus well as he migrates south for the winter on Monday the 26th. He will be missed over the winter but will be back in the spring!
Cashing in were: 1st $25 – Roberta Whetham with 6,850 points; 2nd $20 - Wilma Welty with 6,150; 3rd $15 – John Cline with 5,750; 4th $10 – Darin Ray with 5,670; earning $5 each (getting their money back!) were the following places: 5th – Sharon Robertson with 5,650; 6th – Earl Sluggett with 5,570; 7th – Mary Landinger with 5,370; 8th – Maggie Richter with 5,220; and 9th – Joe Landinger with 5,050. Low honors (also ‘earning’ her money back!) went to Nora Grubb.
Reminder: Sign up is from 1:45 to 2:00 with play to (hopefully) begin at 2:00pm. We like to have full tables of four so please get there early to sign up so that we can begin play on time!
Next scheduled plays are Sunday, November 8th and November 22nd. Watch for the green signs posted at The Grocery Store and the Mint.
