Shep Douglas blocks a kick from Elizabeth Piturachsatit in the championship game of human foosball at the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce's Harvest Festival last Saturday. The tabletop game, popular since the 1970s in basement rec rooms and taverns, grew to life size at the event with four teams competing. Winners of that and other festival contests are included in this issue.
