Vancouver Martini Challenge 2004

Dec 9, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

North Shore shakers and cocktail makers were out in force last week at Vancouver's Roundhouse for the 8th Annual Greater Vancouver Martini Challenge. Lots of local restaurants took part as guests were invited to sample each concoction and vote on their favourites. In the end, the real big winner was the good folks at the Canadian Diabetes Association who were the recipients of the night's fundraising efforts. Good job gang.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
