Family night has Irish theme

A fun round-robin was held Sunday at the Col. Fuller tennis courts at the Catasauqua Park as part of the Old Home Week Sunday at the Park. After three hours of tennis, Adam Bastidas was the winner, followed closely by John Yanek, Chris Becker and Kelly McDonald. Organizer Janice Snyder reports that great games of tennis were played by all 12 participants.
