Vawn’s final mud volleyball tournament draws record turnout
What began as a one-time event in 1996 has come full circle for the hamlet of Vawn.
The community first hosted a mud volleyball tournament 30 years ago, but the event was short-lived. It was revived in 2016 and has since grown into an annual summer tradition.
This year’s tournament marked the 10th edition since its return and organizers say it will also be the last.
“It’s getting harder for me, and I’m getting older, and some of my volunteers are getting older as well,” said head organizer Brandon Doom, who has been teaching in the Northwest Territories for the past five years. “We figured 10 was a good number to go out on.”
