Friends of Bocce The short Winter Tournament is well under way with nearly 40 teams braving the wind and weather that the pass area serves up! Kudos to them for 'getting out and letting the smell blow off them', as my mother used to say, except she didn't use the word 'smell'! This Tournament ends the week of Feb. 24, with playoffs the week of March 3. The Spring Tournament begins the week of March 17. Teams must have their entries in by March 7. Just so you can plan ahead, it's a ten week tourney, ending the week of May 21, with playoffs the following week. Questions, help, call Dutch, 845-0392. Remember, bundle up and have fun!
