Hess Overtakes Competitors in Iowa State Fair Cribbage Tournament

Bill Hess of Story City took first place in the Cribbage Tournament held at the 2024 Iowa State Fair.

Each contestant played eight games. At the conclusion of play, competitors earned two points for a standard win or three points for “skunking” the opponent (beating another player by 31 points or more). The player with the highest point total at the end of the day earned the first-place ribbon.
