A big “Thank you” to everyone who has contributed in any way to make this event the success that it is! Our last tournament in 2021 provided us with great weather, lots of fun and over $6,000.00. Hopefully this year will be even bigger and better!

time 8:30 a.m.). It’s over around 1:30 p.m.
so most of your day will still be free!
Where? Eagle Creek Golf Course (Port Blandford)
with Dinner being provided as a “Take Home” or “Eat In” by the Musgravetown Fire Department starting at 12:00 p.m. Plates will be prepared although meats will have to be cooked by you.
