2023 Isthmus Pick: In this time-honored event, participants toss a different kind of frisbee — that’s right, cow pies, dung discs, meadow muffins. Participants (“chip chuckers”) choose two flat, dried, and (mostly) odorless “chips” to “chuck.” No gloves allowed. Levels of competition range from the “Corporate Throw” to divisions for kids, adults and teams. The rest of the doings revolve around music, kids' activities, volleyball tourney, fun run, art fair and a food court. Schedule below.
