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.

Neepawa COPP
The COPP (Citizens on Patrol Program) is an organization in many communities in Manitoba. It is a significant partner in the community policing concept, involved in crime prevention. The organization is established with the approval from the local policing agency (in rural Manitoba, it’s the R.C.M.P.). The major sponsor of the program in Manitoba is M.P.I. (Manitoba Public Insurance). The Manitoba COPP is the governing body of all 56 local COPP groups in Manitoba.
