NOCO Bocce Bash

NOCO Bocce Bash @ Oktobrewfest

The 2nd Annual NOCO Bocce Bash @ Oktobrewfest held on September 24 was a success with over 90 participants and staff in attendance on a beautiful, fall Colorado day at Lincoln Park in downtown Greeley. All $2,800 raised, benefited the Weld Legacy Foundation Area of Greatest Need, an unrestricted fund which supports community needs identified by the Weld Legacy Foundation.

Bocce Ball, also known as Italian lawn bowling, is said to be one of the most widely played games in the world. The game is perhaps not as widely-known and played in our neck of the woods, as many of the participants had never played before. Everyone had fun learning a new game! The Weld Legacy Foundation hopes to help the people of Northern Colorado become more familiar with Bocce often played in back yards or on the beach with friends and family. The competition turned out to be fierce, yet lighthearted, as teams took to the green to boule three games each before the semi-finals.

“Thank you to all of the sponsors and players for supporting this Second Annual Event. I think the participants appreciate the relaxed and fun atmosphere this event provides.”

- Allison Miller, Development Program Director from the Weld Legacy Foundation.
