FYI - the charity croquet match was between people from a retirement home and their local Lions Club, both of which are located in the Portland suburb of King City, Oregon - a retirement community. All the proceeds went to the Lions Club camp for the blind. The match was a hoot. They all wore straw hats and had cucumber sandwiches and lemonade for lunch. Some "celebrities" were asked to participate, including a friend of mine who was our state representative at the time. He lost to an old lady in a walker! I haven't let him forget that since.

I mostly walked around with a megaphone (like I need one) and narrated the match. Every once in a while, someone would ask me for a "ruling" on whether a ball actually hit another ball, or something like that. The local newspaper covered it and they raised quite a few thousand dollars for the charity.

I wish they'd make it an annual affair.
