Buffalo Chip Toss winners announced
By Ambrosia Brody
TWO HARBORS — A large crowd cruised to Catalina Island to try and out-throw competitors in the 28th annual Jimmy Walker Buffalo Chip Toss, Aug. 30. Contestants were separated into
four groups — men, women, girls and boys — to compete for the top spot. The contestant who threw the farthest toss from each group was awarded a trophy and a gift card. Winners in this year’s competition
are: Nick McNally, in the Men 18 and over category, who threw his chip 162
feet, Paige, in the Girls 18 and Under category, who threw her chip 68 feet; Charles McIntosh, in the Boys 18 and Under category, who threw a chip 81 feet; and Bernadette Foote, in the Women 18 and Over category, who tossed a buffalo chip 84 feet. The lighthearted competition — taking advantage of the plentiful raw material provided by Catalina Island’s local bison population — was started by the late Jimmy Walker, who once served in the Two Harbors Harbor Patrol. Although Walker died several years ago, the event is held annually in his memory.
From left to right: Bernadette Foote, 84 feet, for the Women 18 and Over Category; Paige, 68 feet, for the Girls 18 and Under Category; Charles McIntosh with 81 feet in the Boys 18 and Under Category, and Nick McNally with a throw of 162 feet in the Men 18 and Over Category.
