Write Up:
Curling is definitely a challenge – trying to throw the rock, slide & stay upright while sweeping, & skip - but we all did it & had a great time! There were some pretty spectacular shots (right on the button!) & lots of "close ones".

We started out duct-taping our shoes for makeshift sliders then began with a basic lesson on how to slide, throw the rocks, & sweep. Despite some wipeouts, we all got the hang of it but as for the rules & strategies of the game… I think many of us were still quite confused at the end, especially with the odd number of players per team. Hopefully next time we’ll figure it out!

Afterwards some of the group headed over to the Moose Factory for some food & beverages.

Christine & I (Sandie) want to thank all of you for coming out & hope to see you again on some more EOC events.
