Granny Basketball Coalition Fundraiser Doubleheader:

 The Jones Co. “Celebrities” Vs. the Grant Wood Gothics and other Grannies.

Can you imagine a basketball game where there is no running or jumping?  Imagine no more and come see it for yourself!  The players on one team, the “Grannies”, include women in their 70s wearing outfits from the 1920s (bloomers and long socks).  The players on the other teams will be Jones County “Celebrities” also not showing any leg skin or upper arm skin! The Grannies have added another fun new twist by having a jail for anyone “speeding” or getting a “skin” violation for showing part of their leg!
