July 28th - Croquet Party
Click here for Tahoe Tuesdays, Hikes, and Bike Rides
The 2015 croquet party was great. Very close competition. Mike Pape the defending champion had to leave early so he couldn't defend his title and the 2013 Champion Rusty Santee was a "No-Show". So this year's crown was wide open. Dan Currier battled through in the finals to claim the trophy. The food was great and as always the people were awesome in their whites. Great event and thanks to all for the help and support.
