A message from our neighbors up in Wausau:

We Need a Few Game-Day Heroes!
The Badger State Games Pickleball Tournament is almost here, and we need a little extra help during a few critical time slots to keep everything running smoothly. These are float positions helping as court monitors and runners — easy to learn and right in the action!
🚨 Biggest Needs – Sunday
7:30–11:00 AM – Court Monitor / Runner (need 3 volunteers)
10:30 AM–2:00 PM – Court Monitor / Runner (need 2 volunteers)
⭐ Additional Key Time Slots
Thursday | 8:30–12:00 – Float (court monitor / runner)
Friday | 8:00–11:00 – Float (runner / court monitor)
Saturday | 8:00–11:00 – Float (runner / court monitor)
There are additional spots listed on SignUpGenius, but these times are the most critical.
💙 Even a couple hours makes a big impact!
📲 Need help signing up? Contact Paula at 715-297-2119 and I’ll gladly help.
Thank you for being part of what makes Badger State Games such a special event!
