Carolina Open (2)

It was a success from all angles: the setting, the weather, the excellent organization by Gary (with the usual solid support from Shirley and friends) and most important a bunch of wonderful people.
Twelve players from out of state (some drove for 4, 6, even 8 hours) and 24 from all over North Carolina. A lot of phone numbers were exchanged. And plans for more petanque get togethers are already in the making.

But there's nothing that says it better than pictures:
