The Midwest Kubb Championship will be held Saturday at Engstrom Family Park, Main Street and Millview Drive in Batavia.

The Scandinavian lawn game involves wooden blocks set up in a back row, batons, and a taller wooden block called the king. Teams toss their own kubbs for placement, try to knock down the other team’s kubbs, then knock down the king.
