What a wonderful day promoting pickleball in the Earl Parade.

Thank you Charlotte, Doug, Donna, Phil, Jason, Susan, Annmarie, and Pam for decorating our unique "float" for the parade. It may have been the first ever golf cart pulling a pickleball net, literally a "portable net". Thank you Double Shoals for the use of the net and Bill and Beth for the use of the golf cart. It was a fun day welcoming the Christmas season and promoting a sport we all love.
