The Vernon-based Funtastic Sports Society is planning to host a successful and safe Funtastic A&W Music and Slo Pitch tournament on the July long weekend in 2022.
And among the first order of business was electing a new board of directors at its annual general meeting with 29 people in attendance at the Vernon Curling Club.
Jamie Austin was voted in as the new president with Ryan McGivern as first vice-president and Brad Steel returning as second-vice.

The AGM was chaired by outgoing president Darcy Sochan who informed the members that while the 2021 event was cancelled for the second year in a row due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the society was able to contribute almost $7,000 back to local organizations from the success of the Funtastic raffle that was held.
The Funtastic Sports Society gives back to the community through sport using the funds raised at its annual event. Since 1984, the Vernon and District Funtastic Sports Society has been able to contribute more than $1.7 million back to the community.
Registration for the slo pitch tournament is filling up. Funtastic is unique in that there are multi tournaments running simultaneously with five- and four-game tournaments with all skill levels available. Teams can register at http://funtasticsports.ca/
The live entertainment lineup is being compiled and there will be an announcement in the spring. There will be three entertaining evenings with great lineups each night with tickets being available online.
