UPDATE: Thanks to all who came out, armed with shovels, strength and determination, the game will go on.

Fulton Maroons parents, players and supporters worked for several hours to clear the snow-covered Greater Vernon Athletics Park at Okanagan College Friday morning prior to the 2 p.m. game.

“Great job everyone,” said Maroons mom Marcy Kennedy. “See you soon.”
