The Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce will be hosting an NSA sanctioned co-ed slo-pitch tournament the weekend of June 1-3rd.

Twenty four teams will use multiple playing fields in and around Creston with the top 8 teams qualifying for the Canadian Co-Ed World Series in Kamloops August 31-September 3, 2018. There will be two divisions competing. The serious-and-fun division consisting of 16 teams will be competing for the 8 World Series qualification spaces. The strictly-fun division will consist of 8 teams competing for prizes and glory.

This inaugural event will feature fun and exciting events throughout the weekend for both the tournament players and the residents of the Creston Valley.

Features of the weekend include, but are not limited to:

•home run derby

•outdoor evening concert

•outdoor market

•beer garden

Each team attending the weekend will receive a Gold Rush swag bag that will feature products and services from the Creston Valley community highlighting local businesses, and attractions in the area. This will be an opportunity for local businesses to get noticed by our guests very affordably.

The first place team of the serious-and-fun division will win $1500 with the second place team winning $750. The top finisher in the fun division will win $350 plus two nice slo-pitch bats. There will be other prizes and awards that will be announced closer to the event itself.

“As a Chamber of Commerce, we are always looking at doing events that will bring business to our members and community. We anticipate over 500 people coming to Creston from out of town for this tournament. These folks will be eating in our restaurants, sleeping in our local accommodations and shopping in our stores. The local economic benefit will be substantial.” said Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce manager Vern Gorham. “Our local slo-pitch association has been fantastic in helping us plan this event, and with their guidance, I am confident that we can pull this event off at a very high level. It is our hope that this will become an annual event, and a weekend for all of Creston to get involved and have some fun; and for our businesses to make some money.”
