Guys vs Gals Slo-Pitch Game – Wednesday, July 20th
What a game! Here is what a summer visitor from Vancouver said, “ I have not seen entertainment like this in years and I watch a lot of local ball”
49 runs were scored. The gals got 24 of them and the guys got 25. The game was so close it came down to the last batter in the bottom of the seventh – the same as last year.
Congratulations to all of you players – you are all a class act!
Congratulations to Sue Whittaker and Art Klingspor for MVP’s
Join PGOSAn Jo Kelsall and neighbours for the "Laneway Art" exhibition. And while you're there, take advantage of the opportunity to view some neighbourhood gardens.
