STOUGHTON - The Stoughton Curling Rink came alive when 10 teams entered an open bonspiel on Feb. 7-8.
Curling began on the evening of Feb. 7 and continued into the next day, with a meal supplied by the Crossroads Inn, consisting of sausage, cabbage rolls, perogies and Caesar salad, with desserts donated by community members.
Jennifer Hogg organized the event that has taken place for many years.
Throughout the two days of curling, they had a silent auction and raffle tickets with the chance to win a dice poker game board. There were also 50/50 tickets for sale; the draw will be held March 8. Hogg said there are still tickets available, and the possible payout could be $1,625.
There were three divisions. The winners of the A division were Chris Piper’s team, the B division went to Allan Walter’s team, while the C division went to Matt Sangster’s team.
Hogg said they are looking to grow their membership at the club and make it a great place for kids and adults alike to learn the sport.
Presently they have 43 kids in their junior curling program and have league curling on Wednesday nights with six teams.
The community complex, which includes the swimming pool, skating rink and curling rink, will be holding a fundraiser on April 12.
It will include supper, entertainment, live auction and raffles. Right now, they are in the planning stage with more details to be released in the near future.
The funds raised will be used for the complex, and they look forward to having a sold-out crowd.
