MARKET OPEN 3 - 7 P.M.
Now that we've all sprung forward and our bodies (mostly) have adjusted, please remember that the market is now open for an extra hour during Daylight Savings Time from 3 to
7 p.m.

A WEEK FOR CELEBRATION
Okay, so the
first day of spring was on Monday and
National Agriculture Day officially was on Tuesday, but you can still celebrate the season and think about all that goes into bringing the food you eat to your table as you visit the market.

| During the spring equinox, daytime and nighttime are just about equal. |

| PICKLEBALL DEMONSTRATION AT QUILLIAN CENTER MARCH 25 |
 It's never a dill moment at Quillian Recreation Center, 10570 Westpark Drive, except when a pickleball game is going on. What's that? You've never heard of pickleball? It's only the fastest growing sport in America and now it's coming to Westchase District!
You can relish in this nationwide craze when you come to Quillian's free Pickleball Demonstration Day, Saturday, March 25 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Learn about this raquet sport that mixes elements of tennis, badminton and ping pong (but not billiards - you'd find using a cue cumbersome!) created for all ages and skill levels. Mike Goldberg, USA Pickleball Ambassador (we're not making this up!), will be on hand to teach the rules of the game. Equipment and refreshments (bottled water and popcorn, no pickles) will be provided.
Once you know the bread and butter basics of the game, why not play some games? Beginning March 27 and running through May 27, Quillian will host open pickleball play on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 2 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Regular admission is $5 per day or $80 for a 20 visit pass; seniors are $4 per day or $60 for a 20 visit pass.
Some schedule exceptions apply. For more information, call the Quillian Center at 713-781-9195.
Come discover the sport that's destined to become a Vlasic! |
