The 51st Mackinac (Michigan) Island Annual Stone Skipping Competition took place on July 4th. There are two categories,amateur and professional. Among the pros was a Guinness Record holder who skipped a stone an amazing 88 times! The amateur winner won a Grand Hotel goblet stuffed with $200 for skipping 20 times. Though the Mackinac competition is the longest running there are also competitions in Montana and Alaska. I remember being thrilled if I could skip a stone 4 times and that happened due to finding the perfect stone.
