LOCAL SOCCER 1 players will have plenty ot

competition this weekend as northwestern. |

and Alaskan teams are coming to town for |

the annual challange. It takes place at
Christy Park an the Saturday and Sunday
of Riverboat Days.

Many sports of all sorts
for Riverboat Days 2000

NOT ONLY will there be the usual slo-pitch
tournament and stock car races at this year’s Ri-
verboat Days festival.

Look for some more offbeat, wacky events
over the long weekend toa.

Events like the dunk tank, tremendous tri-
cycle trip, soap box derby, and wild and wet
wheelbarrow race will provide some fun belween
the ceremonies and parades.

The Seniors games will benefit again from the
annual Riverboat Days Mile - or Monte Cristo
Challenge — walk from the legion to City Hall,
at 10 a.m. Sunday. Proceeds from the event will
go toward sending a strong delegation down to
Kelowna for the games, which take place in
September.

Tennis will be one event missing from this
year’s schedule. A B.C. Grand Prix event is tak-
ing place in Kelowna on the weekend, which
conflicts with Riverboat Days. Terrace’s own Ri-
chard Krieg! will be there.

Whether it’s releasing rubber duckies itto the
Skeena off Ferry Island, or watching some youth
soccer action at Christie Park, Riverboat Days

wan't disappoint for the sporting person.
