This wa followed by a bean bag toss. ext came trying to balance ping pong balls on LOp of traffic cones and when a tie developed it was solved by 'picking up the ping pong balls from . the traHic cones. The final event was a slow race. The overall field meet winner was Steve Spencer. Sunday was judging day and the judges had 'quite a job before they came up with (the following results.
