A big thank you to Briones Pickleball Academy for spending a few days with us!

Jordan joined us Monday evening for a clinic with our members and spent Tuesday and Wednesday at the facility for a two-day intensive. We really appreciate him making the trip to Ankeny and sharing his knowledge and passion for the game with our pickleball community.

Thanks again, Jordan (and Josiah)! We hope to have you back again soon!

We're excited to announce a partnership that's making the Prairie Trail Labor Day Fest and Labor Day Dink-Off even better!

Thanks to the generosity of Ankeny Community Champions, we'll have a Jumbotron at the festival throughout the day on Saturday, September 5, so you won't have to miss opening weekend college football while enjoying everything the festival has to offer.

Ankeny Community Champions is a local nonprofit dedicated to uplifting our neighbors through life's unexpected challenges. They connect our community with meaningful opportunities to give back while providing financial assistance, resources, and support to local individuals and families when they need it most.

One current example of their impact is their support of Layne, a local high school student who was paralyzed during a wrestling match. They're helping raise funds for accessible housing and transportation as he continues his recovery.

If you'd like to support the incredible work Ankeny Community Champions is doing in our community, you can make a donation using the link below.

A huge thank you to Ankeny Community Champions for helping make this year's Prairie Trail Labor Day Fest and Labor Day Dink-Off even more special. We're grateful for their partnership and for everything they do to strengthen our community.
