First Annual Westmoreland Croquet Club Tournament - 6/13/10

Mallets and hoops were overflowing on the field at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg as more than 1,800 guests clad in de rigueur white attire filled the lawn for the First Annual Westmoreland Croquet Club Tournament (formerly the Greensburg Croquet Tournament). The match, sponsored by First Commonwealth, was held to benefit a whole community of organizations. The nationally sanctioned tournament had more than 115 teams competing, and even held youth and children's tournaments to make it a family-oriented event. “It’s a community favorite,” says club president Ernie Valozzi. “It’s the one fundraiser in Westmoreland County that everyone looks forward to happening and plans around it.”
