Classic Cars and a Classic Sport

One of the nice things about where we play petanque in Detroit is that many times we share the space with other events. Cadillac Square Park is a flat open space adjacent to Campus Martius Park - and all Summer long there are different things going on (Jazz Festival, Auto Shows, various promotions) which use some of the space at the parks. This is never usually a problem as there are ten courts of space and we always have a place to play alongside the festivities.

Today was had some very nicely maintained Mustangs on display. Their owners looked a little apprehensive as we flung our steel boules about with resounding cracks! But we were courteous - having players "block" boules from causing possible damage. It was nice too to have car enthusiasts watching our boule play and asking us questions.
