FAMILY LEAGUE
An amazing way for grandparents, parents and kids to create memories on a Sunday!
The Family League
It’s not an organized league, but a number of fantastic families are coming to Veterans Gardens every Sunday at noon — and they’re having a blast!
It’s families with grandparents, parents, and grade school kids.
After bocce, many are ordering online pizza or sandwiches from the local spots.
It’s fun. It’s happy. It’s creating memories.
Bring your own bocce balls — and you’re all set!
