Minocqua
Rollie Haff reporting

The 1970 Minocqua Lakeland tournament
starting Monday, June 22nd and ending Sunday,
June 28th drew 1608 entries from Wisconsin,
Michigan, and several other states. While
failing to reach the record attendance
of the 1969 tournament, it was probably
one of the most pleasant and highly 
enjoyed tournaments in Minocqua history.

of Beloit. Congratulations Jim. Winners
