In an effort to replace some of the lost data, I’ll re-post our pictures from the Chicago tournament this past summer. You can see more pictures on our Flickr feed. Even though we didn’t do so well, a good time was had by all.

In this past sunday’s edition of the Chicago Tribune, Mr. Patrick Kampert, who covered the Midwest Alliance Doublette Tournament a couple of weeks ago, wrote a very nice article about Petanque entitled “The old boule game - petanque, bocce’s French cousin, gets first area tournament.” Our thanks to Mr. Kampert for covering the tournament and for including us in the article.
UPDATE: It appears that the Tribune now requires you to register with them before you can read the archived article. Fortunately, it’s a free registration.
If you’ve noticed those 4 little thumbnail sized photos over there in the sidebar on the right, those are generated from the PetanqueLouisville Flickr Feed. We would love to see your photos from the games this past weekend. You can either join our Flickr group or tag your photos in your Flickr account with chicagopetanquetourney2006.
We’re in Chicago (Oak Park, IL) for the doublettes tournament. We’ll keep you posted.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, rain delayed the tournament twice. First, for only a couple of hours. Then the rest of the afternoon. Sadly, we couldn’t stay through sunday to finish the qualification round. We had a great time despite the rain. We enjoyed meeting all of the talented boulistes from Chicago and Michigan, and look forward to playing together again sometime soon. Say in Louisville. See you soon.

We hope to participate in the tournament. We hope you’ll be there too.
