Ennis Pickleball Club draws competitors from as far away as Seattle for their annual tournament

The Ennis Pickleball Club’’s annual tournament drew competitors from as far away as Seattle for three days of fun and competition. The event is a fundraiser for the construction of six pickleball specific courts that the club is hoping to open in Spring of 2026 and included raffles and silent auctions as well as three days worth of cocktails for a cause where Willie’s Distillery donated $1 from each cocktail sold in their tasting room towards the courts. 

More information about the new courts and Ennis Pickleball Club can be found at www.ennispickball.com.
