The ironically large turnout of babies, dogs and barefoot drunks at the third annual lawn dart tournament luckily yielded no fatal injuries on Saturday at Alamo Placita Park. Though the pointy lawn darts have been banned for sale for more than 20 years in the U.S., Saturday still saw sixty teams participate in the ultimate hazard tournament, started by Mike Huggins and Patrick Karbon.
