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.

Petanque Louisville in the Chicago Tribune

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.

Chicago – Petanque Tournament

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.
