There’s a free community event in Perry this evening that aims to encourage residents to take advantage of a local amenity.

The Hotel Pattee invites everyone to learn how to play bocce ball tonight.  The city bocce ball court is located in the Josh Davis Plaza downtown, right behind the hotel.

There will be free hot dogs, chips and drinks provided by the hotel and volunteers will be on hand to teach participants how to play.

It starts at 6pm.  If you’d like more information call 465-3511.
