Carson City's pickleball 'Community Color Craze' event a huge success
Seventy two players from all around northern Nevada gathered at the Carson City MAC Saturday, August 3, for good play, new friendships and to raise money towards building dedicated outdoor pickleball courts in the Carson City area.
From entry fees and donations from area players, over $3,000 was raised on Saturday! Way to go players. Big thanks to all the players, staff at the MAC, USAPA area ambassadors, the Truckee Meadows Pickleball Club and many volunteers who made this event great!
Check out the event winners at the Community Color Clash results page, where you can also find links to many additional photos of this fun event.
Scott Chapman, the Recreation Program Manager from the MAC made a special presentation recognizing Paula Tlachac, Frank Boudreau, Karin and Bob Pitcock for their roles in getting pickleball started at the MAC, approximately three years ago. Without their hard work and dedication, many of the players in Saturday's event may never have discovered this fun and addictive new sport.
Many of the area's USAPA Ambassadors were on hand as volunteers and participants. Special thanks to Ambassadors Carol Amos (Fallon) and Vicki Sharp (Reno) for dreaming up the format, organizing the player court assignments, and scoring the event.
Players were treated to great snacks and goodies donated by Carson City's Costco. The play must have been intense, because by the time the event was completed, almost all the food had been consumed. Thank you Carson City Costco!
