| Shirley offers her opinion |
We (Danny and Sue with Shirley and me) made the eight hour drive from North Carolina to Zanesfield, Ohio, on Thursday in order to have a little free time on Friday. We spent our day in and around Zanesfield visiting with Zanesfield Petanque Club's president and number one promoter, Bo Johns, and his family.
We helped a little bit with some of the last-minute setup of signs, banners, scoreboards, and the like, then spent some time getting used to the courts. Bo had set up for play eight newly-created courts in addition to the five full-time, existing courts they already had in Fawcett Park. The latest word is that the Club may end up being able to retain use of, what was originally thought to be, a temporary area for the eight new courts.
They will have thirteen full-time courts and an overflow area that could easily allow for three more. Sixteen courts should be more than adequate for tournament play for their small town. It's a wonderful setup.
