It’s a Pickleball Toy Drive This Weekend in St. Cloud!

Usually we hear about Toys for Tots at this time of year, and this is really no different... other than the name.  The idea is the same...make sure that every child has something under the tree this Christmas.  Both events are awesome, but this one adds some fitness to the event too!

This time, it's fun for everyone!  Pickleball has been taking over people's fitness aspirations for a while now.  At first, people were thinking that it was only for the elderly.  Recently, however, this craze has gotten people of all ages interested in the game that combines tennis, badminton, and ping pong (table tennis).  And you use a paddle instead of a racquet.
