1/29/17 Miller Park Sunday Play

The temperature topped out at about 49F, but several of us played and had a great time.

At the Reeds

Dan and Erin Medary, friends of Carolina Petanque members Rusty&Marcia Reed, have played our game at the beautiful Deep Gap, NC, mountain terrain that Rusty built-- practically right on the side of a mountain. While Rusty and Marcia are wintering in Florida, the NC mountains are getting their usual amount of snow, The Medarys took advantage of the photo opportunity and made a few snapshots to show Rusty and Marcia what they're missing. I'm not sure how playing petanque with snowballs worked out for them (look closely at the first picture and you'll see the "boule" at the left of the frame), but it looks as though it must have been fun!

Asheville Petanque

Carolina Petanque members Michel Baudouin and Bill Cooke are among the guys creating a petanque terrain in Asheville, NC. Here are a few pictures from the Asheville Petanque Facebook account. We look forward to playing there very soon.

Springlike Weather on Wednesday
