IN PHOTOS: Gary Harley tournament runs the bases

As the sun slowly rotated around Inuvik, Peggy Curtis Field was the site of cheers as the Gary Harley Tournament took to the field. Eight men’s teams and three women’s teams came out for three days of softball. In the end, the Tuk Whitecaps were on top on the men’s side and RRR won the women’s division.
