Pickleball tournament donates $4,258 to village and proposes court improvements
Summary
Organizers said the Pickleball Tournament raised $4,258 after expenses and offered suggestions including cleaning courts for Thanksgiving, reopening bathrooms with donated hand dryers, and installing a keypad for bathroom access; the council thanked organizers but did not set tournament dates for next year.
Sally McDonald, representing the Pickleball Tournament organizers, thanked the council for approving a rain date and reported that "after expenses they were giving the Village a check for $4,258." She said the tournament raised $4,000 during the summer and Zorn's Brewery hosted a give‑back day that added $258, and that the organizers donated cranks and a squeegee for court maintenance.
The group requested several operational changes — asking that courts be blown off for Thanksgiving weekend, that bathrooms be reopened with donated hand dryers, and that the village consider installing a keypad with a code for bathroom access. The council thanked the organizers but made no decision on tournament dates for next year.
