May 6, 2025. Revel McDowell Mountain, a premier independent living community, hosted an event filled with entertainment and plenty of pickleball. Guests enjoyed an afternoon of barbecue, live music, games, and good company. The highlight of the evening came when world-ranked doubles player Dahlia Garza and top certified coach “Smiley” Riley Palmer took to the court for demonstrations and mini-lessons, offering attendees a rare chance to learn from two of the sport’s top talents.
