Heart Of Texas (HOT) Petanque Club Dedicates New Courts

taken from the HOT Petanque Club Blog...

 What a day!  Paggi Square is now officially open for Petanque.  Yehhaaa!  Over a couple hundred people came for the opening from 10 am to noon on Saturday June first.   A big thank you to Mayor Lee Leffingwell who gave a speech about supporting  the game of Petanque and the new  fabulous courts at Paggi Square.   He also gave us the blessing by throwing a few balls.  Many kids and families got to learn the game.  Thank you to all the HOT teachers and thank you for your patience teaching  all of  those people. We now have some Olympic courts as the Mayor  mentioned it and  soon we  will put a schedule together to keep on  teaching  the community. A+ Love Arsene
