Hamlin takes euchre title over Kendall in 71st annual tournament
HAMLIN – The Town of Hamlin is the euchre champ for 2026 against its card-playing rival, the Town of Kendall.
The towns have been playing euchre in a tournament since 1954. They for three Wednesdays, usually with 60 to 80 players.
Hamlin had the most points the first night, and then Kendall stormed back to claim the most points last week.
This week was the tie-breaker and Hamlin squeaked out a win, besting Kendall by 198 points. Both towns tallied more than 4,000 points over the three days.
Hamlin gets bragging rights for a year and also was treated to a fish fry by the losing team.
“In the words of Bills fans everywhere, ‘Wait ’til next year,’” said John Becker, chairman of the tournament for Kendall.
