CALLING  ALL   PICKLEBALL PLAYERS! 

BOISE IDAHO IS THE NAME,  AND RENDEZVOUS PICKLEBALL IS OUR GAME!

THIS IS YOUR PERSONAL INVITATION TO PLAY IN FRONTIER BOISE, THE BIGGEST LITTLE TOWN IN IDAHO STATE!

We are talking about the Idaho Senior Games played in Boise, Idaho!  Clear your calendars and mark this date!

On the 14th and 15th days of the 8th month of the year 2010, in the town of Boise, in the state of Idaho, in the good old US of A,  the premier tournament of Idaho will commence. We are planning to make the Idaho Senior Games the premier tournament of  the Pacific Northwest.

Further information and registration may be found on the usapa.org website.  Click on Schedule and then Idaho Senior Games!

THINGS TO DO AROUND BOISE:

The locals like to inner tube or "float" the Boise River (some small white water rapids) that winds through our downtown. White water rafting and kayaking are just literally minutes away!  Jazz on the "Grove" downtown.  Old town farmers market is on Saturdays.  Visit old town shops and historical buildings.  There are two great downtown parks to relax in.  Idaho Fish & Game has a micro habitat in one of the parks so you can look a trout in the eye from under the water or look down into the ponds to see them!   Stroll and bicycle down the greenbelt that runs adjacent to the river and extends about eight miles east of town to Lucky Peak reservoir where picnicking and swimming are favorite things to do.  Camping and fishing!  There is not enough room here to relate on spots in or near Boise.  Golfers, what can we say!  Primo!  Take pub walks (some call it crawling) in the evening in downtown.  There are more things to do than most have time for!  Come and enjoy!

We have our own Idaho blog where you may find information (times, directions, schedules and general information on this superb event)!  You may go on the usapa.org web page, scroll down the left sidebar and click on Idaho Pickleball, or simply type in your address bar idpickleball.usapa.org
