A carnival-like atmosphere will surround a volleyball tournament and billards tournament at DeVil’s Sports Bar, 339 Wilhagen Road, on July 10 as part of a fundraiser for the Nashville Shock softball team and the Nashville Storms.
In addition to the games of skill and concessions, there will be a silent auction, a drag race and live entertainment, including a talent show and amateur dance competition.
