24 The Horseshoe Pitcher's News Digest/February, 1988
PIZZA HUT FALL FESTIVAL OPENS AT DALLAS, GA.
WON BY FULLER OF N.C.—SANC. 28-87-014
The Georgia pitching season closed with the biggest open tournament of the year. In
addition, the weather was some of the finest for pitching with clear skies and 75°.
Mr. Conway Tucker, Southeast Regional Supervisor, of Pizza Hut sponsored the first
annual Pizza Hut Fall Festival. This tournament provided some of the best pitching seen in
Georgia and attracted 18 pitchers from 4 of the 5 neighboring states.
The Fall Festival closed the Georgia season until the spring when pitching will begin again
in March.
During the winter months our neighbors to the South, Florida, always provide welcome
places to keep us in condition. Their courts are always open.
