Paris, Tenn.–Eiffel Tower Park was the place to be over the weekend, with 149 players from nine states competing at the 2nd Annual Pickleball Classic. It was hosted by the Paris Pickleball Club and premier sponsor was Knott’s Foods, which served fried dill pickle dip and chips, grilled pimiento cheese sandwiches, pickles and bologna on a stick, grilled chicken wraps–all for free over the three-day tournament. Organizers said the event was a definite success, with crowds of onlookers on hand to watch the matches.
