The Simmons tournament had an unexpected park neighbor attend. He got onto the green but unfortunately we were not fast enough to photograph him on the green strutting across all rinks before the umpire chased him away. So this is as close as we got.

Peace Findlay Coast Capital Drenching

What a soggy Saturday!! Mother Nature did not treat us well on the 100th anniversary of the Peace Cup. It poured rain for well over 3 hours, soaking some to the skin and making almost everyone else very very wet. In spite of the miserable conditions, the players and markers carried on through it all and there were some amazing games. Everyone is to be commended for their perseverance.

                                                                      It started to pour rain
                                                                   Then there were lakes
                                                      The raindrops just kept falling
