Portage la Prairie's third annual Charity Beach Volleyball Tournament is slated for September 9th and 10th at Republic Park. Co-organizer Kelci Thompson says they'll start in the evening on Friday the 9th and run all day on Saturday, noting the cut-off for registration of teams is this Friday. Thompson says over the last two years they've seen some great participation, so they're hoping the tournament can continue to expand. She notes the first year all proceeds went to the Cancer Society and last year it was Big Brothers/Big Sisters, adding this time around they've decided to support the MS Society.

Thompson says ten teams participated during the first year and they had seven teams the following year. She notes folks can call her at 204 870 0282 or co-organizer Kristin at 204 856 6740 to register a team. Thompson adds they'll have a canteen all day Saturday, so even if you don't want to play you can come out and watch and just enjoy the fun.
