The Stevens Point Horseshoe Club will host the Stevens Point Open horseshoe tournament at Mead Park this weekend.
The Stevens Point Open is a sanctioned horseshoe tournament and will run Saturday and Sunday, July 21 and 22, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Participants from all over the state are registered for the second-year tournament, which has grown considerably since last year.
