Carolina Petanque had nine members (Cruz, Kristi, Kirk, Bo, Parker, Donnie, Shirley, Gary, and Bob) present in Ohio over the weekend. Cruz did not play on Saturday. Gary did not play on Sunday. Bob was unable to play either day due to a conflict with his 50th anniversary college reunion, but he arrived Sunday afternoon and stayed over for social play on Monday.

The Zanesfield Memorial Day weekend festivities include the Logan Hills Festival, a Native American Pow-Wow and historical re-creation, and has to be one of the most festive petanque tournaments in the United States. We suggest you add it to your MUST list!
