On January 10th, the next Polar Bear is scheduled and if you are in the Windy City, try your hand at winter petanque.
What is their secret to having a successful tournament? Have a look at this photo and you'll see it, the boule warmer.
Dan Danielson, President of the Chcago Petanque Club says it this way:"SNOW! It builds character...
and makes characters go outside and lob steel boules into the air.
We are having our 2nd Annual Winter "Polar-Boule" Games on Jan 10th. The weather can not stop us. The secret is to have a boule-warmer griil and keep one boule in your pants pocket. (I know hiding a boule is against the rules, but it sure does feel good.)"
