On Saturday July 8, Plumas had their first road hockey tournament,  prior to the fair.  There were 10 teams overall, four kids teams and six adult teams. They played three on three and there were five players per team. The games started at 10:00 am and ended close to 7:30 pm. The winning team for the kids division was the Redhounds and for the adult division was Brady Walker’s team. While the games were going on, there was also a giant waterslide bouncy castle for the kids. Campfire Crashers, from Winnipeg, came and started playing at 9:00 pm and a community member said, they did a wonderful job. There were fireworks at 10:00 pm.

The help and support given by the community of Plumas made this all possible. The hockey rink was built with 130 bales or more, all donated by Arnold Coutts. Plumas Stop N Shop sponsored the bouncy castle. GWB Auto Sales and Renegade Transport both donated water bottles for the players and a trailer to haul the bales. The RM of Westlake Gladstone also chipped in with a grant. This event would not have been possible without the Plumas Inn. The organizers said, the event was a success and a town effort and they can’t wait to do it again next year.
