Boston Pizza in Vegreville was the scene of a tournament of Mario Kart played with the Nintendo Switch and is only held by Northern Alberta Boston Pizzas. Some 80 people gathered at Boston Pizza Sunday morning to partake in the tournament. It was for family and the turnout was great.

Scott Dixon, Boston Pizza franchise owner, said, “This is a free event for the family, and the competition is kept local.”

The tournament is free to enter and the food was on the house. “I took the opportunity to host this event in Vegreville because I felt it would be good for the family to take part as a unit and participate,” said Mr. Dixon.

This tournament is run similar to the NHL playoffs with the winners moving on. The overall winner will receive Free Pizza for a year while the event winners (4) will receive a Trophy and $50.00 gift certificate.

When asked if he would consider hosting this event again Mr. Dixon said, “If the opportunity arises again I will most certainly entertain the idea.”
