Topeka Tennis Association inducts several Hall of Famers
In partnership with Shawnee County Parks + Recreation, the Topeka Tennis Association (TTA) hosted its annual Hall of Fame event on April 12-13 in Topeka. The event honored influential figures in the local tennis community who have made a positive impact on tennis in Topeka and its surrounding areas.
