Parade of Racquets Will Offer 50 Hardwood Racquets to Local Businesses, Organizations, & Youth/School Groups to Participate Each decorated racquet will be auctioned off at the April 15-16, 2022, event to benefit Asheville Tennis Association’s youth outreach programs.

With the Billie Jean King Cup (formally known as Fed Cup) returning to Asheville for a third time, the United States Tennis Association (USTA)  is looking to infuse the local community like never before. We’re asking artists, school groups, and teams  to create racquet artwork with the spirit of Asheville and tennis for the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup on April 15-16, 2022. The  racquet artwork will serve as an iconic visual to commemorate the return of Team USA to Asheville, NC.

The Harrah’s Cherokee Center will provide the 2′ x 4′ wooden racquets to be decorated with the spirit of  Asheville and Tennis at no cost, on a first come, first served basis while supplies last. Approximately 60  racquets will be available via pre-registration here: https://paradeofracquets-bjkc2022.eventbrite.com—  while supplies last. Pick up information will be emailed directly to registrants. All decorated racquets  must be returned to the venue no later than Tuesday, March 1, 2022 for display. ABOUT BILLIE JEAN KING CUP The U.S. Billie Jean King Cup team will return to Asheville, N.C. for the third time in five years in April with a  spot in the 2022 Billie Jean King Cup by BNP Paribas Finals at stake. The USTA has selected Harrah’s Cherokee Center as host for the team’s qualifying tie against Ukraine, which  is scheduled to be played from April 15-16. Team USA previously played at Harrah’s Cherokee Center—  Asheville in 2018 and 2019, when the competition was called Fed Cup. The two events combined generated  more than $8 million in economic impact for the region and spurred increases in tennis participation at the  grassroots level. EVENT HISTORY  The Billie Jean King Cup, the premier international women’s tennis team competition formerly known as  the Fed Cup, was officially rebranded in honor of the legendary Billie Jean King in late 2020. Some of the  greatest tennis players in the history of the game have suited up for Team USA, helping it win a record  18 titles in the competition since the event began in 1963.

 Buncombe County face covering requirement expires as COVID-19 metrics continue to improve.

COVID-19 metrics are continuing to improve overall. Since Jan. 18, there has been a 67% drop in new cases per 100,000 per week. The current new case rate is 386 new cases per 100,000 per week. Buncombe County is continuing to see a fairly rapid decline from week to week in new cases. Additionally, the percent positivity continues to decline and has fallen from 19.6% last week to 15.5% this week.

Hospitalization indicators are now more favorable and there has been a considerable drop in inpatient hospital beds occupied with COVID-19 from last week to this week. Last week, the percent of inpatient beds occupied by COVID-19 was 13.4% and is now 8.8%. As of Monday, there were 104 total patients with COVID-19 in the Mission Health System as compared to a peak of 196 patients three weeks ago. ICU utilization continues to fall and is now well below 30%.

Deaths, unfortunately, have increased. Sadly, 21 new deaths were added to the dashboard, however, only 9 of these occurred in the last week. The remaining deaths occurred in weeks previous but were delayed in being reported. This has caused the local death rate to jump to 8 new deaths per 100,000 per week. It is likely that the death rate will fluctuate for several more days or weeks as deaths are the most lagging of all the indicators.
