Competition was intense Saturday morning at the Generations Puzzle Tournament in Luverne where 22 different teams raced against time to complete their puzzles ahead of other puzzle fixers.
Winners in the 300-piece category of adults and youth teams were Heather Roberts and Summer Mollberg with a time of 36 min.
Winners of the 300-piece category of two team members were Zoe Harnack and Brianna Biber with a time of 38 minutes.
Winners of the 500-piece category with two or three team members were Gina Graff, Wyatt Graff and Jodi Fuerstenberg.
Organizers noted that 12 teams were comprised of adults and youth, and nine of them were from the Rock County Big Buddy Program.
Other teams were comprised of three generations. Among them were Jack Leslie, Jill Buss and Lauren Buss and also Roxy Bonnett and daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
Other family teams were Keith Benson and his daughters Jodi Benson and Janelle Lenz, Charlotte Dammer and her granddaughter Kiley, and Cheryl Nath and her granddaughter Elaine Nath.
Attendees were from Worthington, Rushmore, Ellsworth, Wilmont, Kanaranzi, Beaver Creek, Luverne, Sioux Falls and Volga, South Dakota.
Each team got to take their puzzle home, and the first place teams were awarded additional puzzles as prizes.
The event wrapped up at 11 a.m. with a pizza party.
“The pizzas were gone quickly, and there were lots of smiles,” said Corrine Bonnema, one of the event organizers.
