The event was a fundraiser hosted by the Estill Action Group to raise money to purchase new Christmas decorations for the downtown areas of Irvine and Ravenna.
The tournament raised more than $700 for new decorations. Several teams played all day and enjoyed a meal and a concert by Dirty Windows later in the evening.
“It was an awesome event, and we had a great turnout,” said Lindsey Rogers, president of EAG. “The men and women at the American Legion are some of the nicest, most supportive folks we have ever worked with, and we are looking forward to growing our relationship with them.”
“A big thanks to all that participated and helped make it happen,” she added.
