Hi Sue....
We arrived the other day in our old hometown area of Toledo, OH. While
taking a drive through the "old haunts" we noticed a sign at the Community Park
where we frequently took our kids and grandkids to play that invited us to
attend the "Grand Opening" of the new pickleball courts at the park. Sure
enough, the old, dilapidated tennis and basketball courts had been totally
refurbished and right next to them are two shiny new pickleball courts. So,
today we went over to witness the ribbon cutting. It was a cool, drizzly
morning but there were some interested citizens, including the mayor of the
small Village of Holland, OH (a Toledo suburb) who is a big supporter and player
himself. Palm Creek's own Al Hager and a large contingent of the Toledo
Pickleball Club were there to give a demonstration and a few pointers in the
game, encouraging the residents to be proud of the only dedicated public
pickleball courts in the area and to get involved in the growing sport. Al also
had some equipment to sell to the folks, but the Village has a dozen new paddles
and some balls available for free use. Palm Creek might be a little jealous of
the beautiful shade trees around the courts!
