The tournament wasn't "winners take all" as there were also awards presented in the "Hard Luck” bracket. Earning first-place honors in that division was the Jeff Young team from Austin, who won $250; the Joe Farr team took second place and earned $125.
Geneva Bar & Grill donated $250 to the winner’s bracket and $100 to the hard luck bracket.
Geneva Bar & Grill has hosted the event each year and had two pool tables set up at the bar, and rented six more tables from D & R Star, set up in the back portion of the Southern Minnesota Electric building across the street from the bar. The pool tables were all sponsored by several local businesses, including Broskoff Structures Inc,; Sorenson’s Appliance and TV; Twin Lakes Pub 69; Bend In The Road of Manchester; Poor House Bar of Clarks Grove; D & R Star of Austin and Rochester, and Geneva Bar & Grill.
Several local businesses also help sponsor the tournament, including Dale Miller and the 3 In One Bar of Hollandale; Harold’s Bar of Albert Lea and the Poor House Bar of Clarks Grove.
Barb McKinney of Geneva Bar & Grill, and Doug Felt, Matt’s dad, again organized the tournament, and thank all of the participants and businesses who helped sponsor the tournament.
All profits from the tournament will all be donated to help fight cancer.
The 2012 Geneva Cancer Auction will be held the weekends of January 6-7 and 14-15.
