Rita, a breast cancer survivor, was well known in the pool community. She and her sisters enjoyed the sport together, playing in women’s and mixed leagues in halls around Thunder Bay – even winning trips to Las Vegas to compete in tournaments.
When Rita passed in 2021, her family decided to commemorate her love for life and fun by gathering people together to do what she loved best – hosting their first pool tournament in her honour in 2022.
This year on May 1 to 3, 2026 join us at Elks lodge for our 5th annual Rita Bannon Memorial Pool Tournament. $50 entry fee for those who are playing, and $10 to enter into the party upstairs on Saturday!
