Hopscotch

Nov 14, 2003

By Catherine Barr

 

Behold - the water of life. Scotch and beer drinkers, young and old, descended upon the Empire Landmark Hotel in Vancouver for "Hopscotch" the annual whiskey tasting event that attracts all kinds of North Shore faces. Just you wait and see who was toasting the occasion with a "wee dram". Proceeds to the Alzheimer Society of BC.
