Maplewood Pub Volleyball






TRUCKLOADS and truckoads of sand were hauled in last weekend to turn the parking lot at North Vancouver's Maplewood Pub into a beach volleyball venue. The annual inter-pub charity tournament goes to support Maplewood Farm and their petting zoo. It was great fun as players from local restaurants and bars teamed up to play each other in the sand. There was an outdoor barbecue, refreshments and live caribbean music. And even though the skies were a little gray, the spirits were high and the mood was sunny.
