ARCOLA - Many curling rinks are coming close to their season ending and several have been hosting a fun day, including in Arcola.
This was the second annual glow in the dark funspiel that Arcola has held, and it has become a popular event, especially for the kids.
Twelve curling teams came out on March 8 to the Arcola Curling Rink to have some fun in the dark.
With the lights turned down and black lights set up, the glowing began with the glow in the dark games. According to Warren Neuman, over half of the players were kids and they had a blast.
There was no keeping score, as it was a funspiel, so everyone became winners and everybody went home with a prize.
Teams came from Carlyle, Oxbow, Redvers and Arcola, and they all came with the attitude to have a great time.
During the day, the kitchen offered homemade foods such as soup, chili, sandwiches and pulled pork, with baking to follow for dessert.
Steel Reef donated a Hardline curling broom, which was offered in a loonie raffle. Ella Neuman was the lucky winner.
Kids had glow-in-the-dark face paint and glow sticks, and anything fluorescent glowed.
Curling came to an end in Arcola with league playoffs.
Next year will be a busy season for the Arcola Curling Club as it hosts the 64-team bonspiel for its 125th anniversary. They look forward to hosting the big event but will also host another glow in the dark funspiel.
