More Than a Game: The Legacy Behind the George Carey Memorial Tournament

In this episode of In the Spotlight, Meagan sits down with Bill Carey to talk about legacy, community, and the power of showing up for something bigger than yourself. Bill shares the story behind the George Carey Memorial 9-Ball Tournament, an event created to honour his father, Pa George — a legend in the local billiards community who taught generations not only how to play the game, but how to bring people together.Now in its 10th year, the tournament has grown into a meaningful community fundraiser, raising thousands of dollars for the Okotoks Food Bank while bringing together players, families, and supporters from across the region. This heartfelt conversation explores grief, pride, family, and how a simple idea can grow into a lasting legacy.🎱 Tournament DetailsThe Finals & Silent Auction📍 In Cahoots Bar & Grill, Okotoks📅 February 7th | 6:00 PM📍 500 Village Ln B, Okotoks, AB T1S 1M2For more information or to get involved, contact Bill Carey at 403-969-2875.
