Redneck Happy Hour

After our fabulous Redneck Tennis Tournament, we all moved to the pavilion for a 

fantastic Happy Hour.

We had a huge turnout!

Two of our Arkansas guests, Diane and Alice. Palm Creek loves Hot Springs Village for sharing their fun community with us.

Five or six delicious soups were made, and a dozen different breads and desserts.  All 98 of us enjoyed!

Our past president Glen Carter and first lady Jalene...the couple that just keeps giving to our tennis club!  We bet Glenn made sure all those tables and chairs were delivered to the pavilion!  Thank you Glenn!!

Notice that now we have a "theater in the round."

And the icing on the cake.....Joyce and Lloyd Woods and friends entertained us.  Their Bluegrass sense of humor and music on absolutely exquisite acoustic instruments, were wonderful.

So many to thank for this fun day.... The Baggetts, the Gills,  the Woods and friends, all of Roberta Gill's team, and Don Baggett's worker bees!

Palm Creek's Mixed Redneck Tennis Tournament

What?  Where?  When?  Why?  How many?  Huh?

This clears it all up!

Find your name.  Hopefully, it will lead you to a court with 5 others.  No questions!  You'll figure it out.  Now, go!

Len, do you have it figured out?

No way!!!   6 on a court??   Who plays where?

One strategy....two up front,  one back.

Our round was a blast!  Send in the new kids!

Thank you to our new president, Don Baggett, for our Redneck Tournament!  Oh, what fun we had!  We know this will be an annual event.  Hope it wasn't too much work, boss!
