Pickleball is growing in popularity by leaps and bounds, and on Saturday people can learn everything they ever wanted to know about it.
The racquet sport combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. Players use solid paddles to hit a perforated ball over the net.
Don Friesen of the Vernon Pickleball Association says the club is inviting everyone to an open house at Marshall Fields on Aug. 19, from 3 to 6 p.m.
The day will include music, activities, games, food, vendors, a silent auction, 50/50 draw, an exhibition game and more. Money raised from the event will be used to build more courts.
The club is looking to build 12 courts at Marshall Fields.
“It's a partnership between us and the city,” said Friesen. “It took us a couple of years to get an agreement.”
The city and the club will be splitting the $600,000 cost.
Currently, the pickleball club is sharing courts with tennis players, but neither side is thrilled with the arrangement, so dedicated pickleball courts are needed.
