The Burntwood Curling Club sure knows how to have fun.
They’re hosting a couple of bonspiels in the coming weeks, and although winning is the objective, so is dressing up.
President Grant Brown says the Ladies Bonspiel has a “Saturday Night Live” theme, while the Men’s Bonspiel will be sticking with a classic theme:
"Once again this year we’ll be doing a hockey theme. So everyone who comes out dressed in a hockey jersey of some kind will win a prize. I think this will be out 3rd year with the hockey theme, we actually have as part of it a little hockey selects thing where you pick the winners of all the games on the Saturday, and whoever wins that actually wins a trip to a Jets game".
The club has also been making use of their new ice plant installed last summer. Brown says the ice has been great and they haven’t had any issues.
