Pickles aren't just for sandwiches anymore.
Pickle ball, the new craze that's been sweeping the nation, will come to Calverton on Tuesday with a demonstation game scheduled.
Pickle ball, said Calverton Meadows resident Artie Johnsen, "is a great game. It's like playing ping pong on a badminton court."
The game is played on a badminton-like court with wooden paddles and plastic baseballs with holes; pickle ball can be played by two or four players in a small space, indoors or out.
Johnsen, a "snowbird" who lives in Florida for part of the year with his wife Bronna, said Tuesday's demonstation will be given at 4:30 p.m. at Calverton Meadows by two women who have a Fort Myers business.
