The Gus Macker 3-on-3 basketball tournament is coming to downtown Morris this weekend. Christina and I volunteered at last year's event and it's a good time for fans of basketball. I'll be there Saturday morning so come over and say hi!
This week's Southwest Weekly features an interview with Julie Applegate, the executive director of the Morris Downtown Development Partnership, the organization that runs the tournament. Also, this year's contestant for the "Do-or-die shot," the opening half-court shot that traditionally opens the tournament, is Missy Durkin, former MDDP head. Good luck Missy!
Look for in-depth tournament coverage in the June 13 issue.
