A number of local dartball players made the short trip to Eau Claire for the 73rd annual nine-man State Dart- ball Tournament March 24-25. In a ceremony held Saturday, March 24, the late James Rassbach was in- ducted into the Wisconsin Dartball Hall of Fame. Rassbach-a Prairie Farm native-was responsible for a number of locals taking up the sport. He ran the Prairie Farm league for a number of years and also the North- west Wisconsin Tournament for 40 years. The tournament draws teams to Prairie Farm each February, and is still put on by the Rassbach family, now 59 years in the running. Rassbach was one of the area’s top hitters for many years and was also responsible for starting the first women’s team in the Prairie Farm area. Rassbach’s family, including his son Gary, who was inducted with the Hall of Fame’s first class in 2010 Giant killers–Sponsored by Extreme Clean of Eau Claire, but with a roster chalk full of locals, a local women’s team beat nine-time defending champion LR Trophy of Kewaskum before falling to Landmark Tavern of Athens at the State Dartball Tournament held last month in Eau Claire.
