Moose lodge hosts horseshoe championships

The steady clang of steel colliding with steel, the occasional thud from hitting wood, the subtle swish of landing in sand, and the constant hooting and hollering filled the horseshoe pitch stalls of the Mooresville Moose Lodge.

Nearly a dozen two-player teams converged on the six groomed pits maintained by local Lodge 2012, just of N.C. Highway 21 north of Mooresville, as it took its turn late this summer as the host of the annual N.C. Moose Lodge Horseshoe Championships.
