Dawn Wells, Roberto Alomar and Fred McGriff in Vancouver

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale . . . Gilligan’s Island actress Dawn Wells was just one of the main draws this past weekend as the Vancouver International Boat Show set up shop at both BC Place and Granville Island. Known for its luxury yachts and famous faces, the four-day event attracted hundreds of water loving enthusiasts and outdoor fans. Also, last week marked the 4th Annual Scotiabank Vancouver Canadians Hot Stove Luncheon. Baseball greats Roberto Alomar and Fred McGriff were the guests of honour at this fun fundraiser which helps raise money for their “Building Community Through Baseball” campaign in support of young baseball fans ages 5-10.
