Joe Alexander,(right) representing Northern Metal Recycling, recently made a $500 donation for the new pickleball courts at City Park in Glenwood. Accepting the donation on behalf of the pickleball group is Steve Loen and Jean Noland.  “We are excited to bring designated pickleball courts here which will be a huge amenity for Pope County,” Noland said. “Pickleball is a great family sport and anyone from 8 to 88 years old can play. It is also good for eye-hand coordination for the  younger kids.” To help fund pickleball courts in Glenwood, make a donation by mailing a check to: Glenwood and Beyond, PO Box 434, Glenwood, MN  56334.  Please note pickleball on the check.
