Greenheck Turner facility to host World Horseshoe championship

The Greenheck Turner facility built in Weston just finished construction - and it’s already slated to host a world championship. 

The center is slated to host the 2026 and 2029 Horseshoe Pitching World Championships. Central Wisconsin Convention and Visitors Bureau officials say the event typically draws thousands of attendees from 48 states and five countries outside the U.S.

The organization's website already lists Wausau on its list of future tournament locations.

Visitors stay for roughly a week, contributing to the local economy, says CVB Director Tim White. "Securing these championships reinforces Wausau's status as a top-tier destination for major sporting events,” White stated in a press release. “We are proud to host these tournaments and are confident they will leave a lasting legacy in our community."
