Cloudy skies did not keep bocce players from attending the "Welcome to the Neighborhood" event, held by the Wicker Park Bocce Club, Monday afternoon.

Competition participants could win a bocce ball set and a Dogfish Head Craft Brewery cap.

And when the rain hit around 5:30 p.m., everyone transitioned over to Small Bar at 2049 W. Division St.

Remember, you can stop by the courts at Damen Avenue and Crystal Street any time to play bocce. Borrow a set for free from Small Bar, and toss some stones!
