so do we form a team and join in on a volley ball game or something? I don't get it.

I think they might be all full up for most of their teams, but you can check by registering through Urban Rec who is handling all of the vollyball registrations. kitsfest@urbanrec.ca

Yelp'll be there too so if you do play, rather than just watch and have a drink on the beach (legally!) you can come grab some shade under our tent... perhaps we'll even put up some chairs for yelpers!

Wandered down today.  Got some free stuff!  I'll probably go again tomorrow and find the yelp tent.
