Some singles matches may start prior to the completion of all doubles matches."

The press release continued, "parking will be available at the north entrance to Spirit of 76 park. Look for the tennis parking signs."

Additionally, "Mt. Vernon's annual Apple Butter Making Days will be taking place this weekend, so there will be 30,000-40,000 people around the town square Saturday morning.

"The tennis courts are located within a half mile of the square, so it will be very crowded around Spirit of 76 Park.
