can event on your club calendar if it isn’t already in place. Tis event affords experienced as well as new curlers a chance to get a
taste of being part of a national bonspiel on their own ice. Clubs report their women, as well as some male curlers, have a wonderful time sharing an event that is celebrated across the United States.
