SIOUX FALLS — Aberdeen native Don “Woody” Boyd and Pierre native Paul Williams are slated to be inducted into the South Dakota Tennis Hall of Fame in July.
Boyd, who now resides in Highlands Ranch (Colo.), and Williams, who is now living in Mankato (Minn.), will be inducted on Saturday, July 20 during an hour-long induction ceremony that is set to start at 11 a.m. at the McKennan Park picnic shelter (located near the tennis courts).
McKennan Park has been the induction site since 1991, the initial year of the South Dakota Tennis Hall of Fame. A marker recognizing all inductees is featured near the courts.
The ceremony will be video recorded and displayed later on the website (sdtennishall.com). All tennis enthusiasts are invited to attend.
The 2024 South Dakota Adult Open will be played July 19-21 mainly at the new Greatlife Cares Foundation Tennis Complex at Tamar Park, just off south Minnesota Avenue in Sioux Falls.
