The Sisk Park Bocce Ball Club concluded another successful fall season January 8, as around 150 members flooded the Sisk Park Ramada January 8 for the club’s fall Potluck and Awards Party. The attendees feasted on fried chicken and sipped soft drinks, wine and beer, accompanied by a wide array of salads and desserts.
A record 222 players participated in the fall tournament, according to Beth Derheim, division director. “That was a great turnout, but we already have 248 players scheduled for the winter tournament, which began January 14,” she added. Play will continue through March 19, and the session will end with a potluck and awards party March 26.
Also on tap are an intraclub tournament with the Oasis Bocce Club at Oasis Park February 3 and an interclub tournament at Sisk Park February 26.
