The 2008 Emile Furlan Tournament took place this past weekend on the picturesque Furlan Ranch near Knight's Landing, Ca. There were twenty-six triplette teams competing convivially under sunny skies and the shade of thirty-five year old walnut trees. In addition to a nice selection of hotels in nearby Woodland, there was ample room for those who wanted to camp under the trees either in tents or in their trailers or motor homes. After the first days' competition, everyone went to the Knight's Landing Community Center for a nice dinner, prepared by a very talented crew, under the direction of the lovely Simone Furlan, along with members of the Club Français de Sacramento. It was quite evident that everyone in attendance had a wonderful time.
La Pétanque Marinière would like to extend a most gracious thank you to the Furlans, extended familes, members of the Club Français de Sacramento and everyone who gave of their time and energy to provide such a scenic venue and a very enjoyable event.

Dear Ken,
This is my third comment. I have no idea where these other comments went. Now, THANK YOU for the wonderfully creative slide show. We enjoyed it so much. Do you tutor? HA We hope to see you again up in Sacramento, especially at the Inter Club Tournament on October 12th. That includes Ellen and Louie - your Teammates. Thanks again, Chuck and Donna Klaiber (Christine's Sister and Brother-in-Law)
