Mayor's Challenge Cup
 The 5th Annual Mayor's Challenge Cup will take place on Saturday, June 14th at Kingston Park. This year the mayors will take on the sport of Bocce. Bocce for the average player is very simple. There may be anywhere from two to four players on a team. Each player is given two balls (boccia). Each player must then take turns rolling (lagging) the ball toward the pallino ball (the smallest ball), which has already been thrown onto the field. The players are given points for the balls thrown closest to the pallino ball. Players may also throw on the fly (volo), striking the ball to move the point ball. Balls, including the pallino, may also be displaced by the balls of other players.
Bocce is an inexpensive game of thought and strategy that
brings families and friends together with the enjoyment of a game that everyone can play. Bocce has seen many changes throughout the ages. It has evolved from being a crude sport played with rounded rocks, or even coconuts, to the modern game with composite or metal balls. Bocce has been known under many names - lawn bowling, nine pins, skittles, pentanque, to name a few - and has seen many rule changes. The popularity of Bocce in America has been on the rise since it swept California in 1989.
