Free Yo-Yo Performance and Workshop
I used to try to yo-yo. I always got the string all tangled up. I’m sure it was because I was using a cheap yo-yo. Now that I can spring for a better one, maybe I could become a yo-yo-master. If you’re interested in the art of yo-yoing (I’m sure that can’t be a word) […]

Free Pickleball Lessons

Pickleball’s basically badminton over a tennis net, played with a wiffle ball and a hard paddle. It’s fairly low impact, but can be good exercise. The free lessons are at Raymore Memorial Park […]
