We just got back from Indian Lake State Park in Ohio.  (Had a blast, it was their Halloween festival.)  Last night there was a group in the field behind us playing a game.  It looked really fun, but have no idea what it was called to look up where to find it.  They had 1 white and 2 each red, blue, yellow and green lighted balls.  White ball seemed a little smaller then the other 8, the big ones looked about softball size.  They were in teams by color.  Someone would throw the white ball, and then everyone else would throw their colored balls at it.  Sounded like if you hit another ball you got a point, and what ever team was closest to the white ball got a point at the end of each round.  They went back and forth across the field for about 2 hours and sounded like they were having a blast.  Any ideas what it is called?

"Bocce Ball" is the name that I know it as..

I didn't follow the previous links, but the one has "Bocce-Ball" in the URL - so, I'm assuming they've pointed you at the same thing.
