St. Johns Kiwanis Mint Festival tennis tournament
If you’ve ever registered to compete in St. Johns Kiwanis Mint Festival tennis tournament, you should have received a flyer reminding you that you – or other tennis player you know – should uncap your pen or get on line and register for this year’s event which is set for Friday through Sunday August 8, 9 and 10.
Chair Chris Bouck explained once again that the tournament is conducted in memory of Terry Cornwell, a former Kiwanian and popular High School Counselor. Memory of Cornwell and the tournament itself attracts many local tennis players as well as others from across the state.
