One more week until we break for Christmas, and there is lots going on with the league and the community. I went out to Milner Gardens tonight for the first time in years. It was a beautiful full moon, the crowds were huge and it did not disappoint.
The other excitement is the upcoming Turkey Shoot at the Eagles Hall on Saturday, December 21st. It’s a ranked doubles tournament all for the low low price of $10. There is an optional snowball draw for $2.00, a 50/50 draw, and another opportunity to win a turkey by playing a fun turkey shoot game. Bring your loonies and toonies and win a turkey!!
…now on to last weeks’ dart highlights.

Crowding into the Parksville Legion the Parksville Legion Dart Legends and the Morningstar Triples grappled over the end boards at the Parksville Legion.
