Petanque is coming to Ada at Saturday's spring event

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, April 22, 2013

Petetanque is coming to Ada on Saturday. (Watch the video at the bottom of this story.)

Pronounced petɑ̃k, the game is a form of boules where the goal is, while standing inside a starting circle with both feet on the ground, to throw hollow metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a cochonnet (literally "piglet") or jack.

Confused? Don't be.

The Zanesfield Petanque Club is coming to Ada's War Memorial Park from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday during the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce's first-ever spring event.
