Happy Rockin' Pickleball Tournament

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a Wiffle ball, over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard pastime but has become one of America's most popular growing sports among all ages.

A 3-day round robin Pickleball tournament will take place at this year's festival with o
pen & senior divisions (50+) for all skills (3.0 - 5.0), ages 12 and up.
• Friday, July 31: Women's Doubles, noon to 6 p.m.
• Saturday, August 1:  Mixed Doubles, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
