Kids played on the new playground equipment for which community funds were previously designated. Doubles winners were James Lintz and Chris Lutjemeyer and Singles Winner was James Lintz.

First place finishers received $500, second place received $250 and Third place received $100.

According to Matthew Koch, one of the organizers, the Otoe Kids Club also helped celebrate, helped with the raffles and got the word out about the tournament.
