Robert Tucker of Bellevue WA and Dale Leischner of Issaquah WA won the Monday Evening Charity 199er Pairs with nearly 64%!
Winners of the Monday Evening Charity Pairs: Christina Siemer of Lewistown MT, and Ralph Cole of Anacortes WA. With a posted score of 51% going into the last round, Ralph went out to get the car. But some of the names had apparently been entered into the wrong section and they ended up with the win. We had to go out into the middle of Douglas Street like a desparate paparazzo to get the photograph of Ralph!
