Get ready for a full day of fun with two exciting events you won’t want to miss!

Dinkin’ For Dollars
Kick off the day with our open-format doubles pickleball tournament. Grab your favorite dinking partner and sign up—or register solo, and we’ll pair you with another player at your level. It’s all about great games, great people, and great competition.

The Big Dill Bash
When the sun goes down, the party starts! Enjoy a relaxed evening filled with delicious food, complimentary pints and wine, a rockin’ DJ, and Vegas-style casino games. Test your skills (or luck!) at the tables and show off your best moves on the dance floor.

Come for the pickleball, stay for the party—and make February 28th a day to remember!
