2007 Manitowoc Ultimate Hat Tournament Rocked!

On a hot summer day, over 70 folks of all ages came from all over to Manitowoc for the 2007 Manitowoc Ultimate Hat Tournament ... and changed the world forever.

The players came from as far away as Des Moines, Duluth, Minneapolis and Chicago.  They came from Eau Claire and La Crosse, Madison and Milwaukee, Appleton and Green Bay.  The hot sun didn't deter these brave warriors, and 8 hours of battle finally produced a champion: Team 6, which included Manitowoc natives Chris Vater and Dave Rocklewitz.  Chris and Dave were joined by teammates Hannah Jones, Scott Bambrough, David Wiegert, Mick Wendland, Chris Nicla, Mike Zahner, Kevin Draeger, Brian Hockers and Ari Spagat.

You can see the coverage in the Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter.  We are working on putting together a public photo pool, and will update this story when it is available.
