Curling action for all ages

Did you watch the Patriots and Seahawks this past Sunday?

Rumsey Record

Did you watch the Patriots and Seahawks this past Sunday? If you are a football fan, I think you might agree with me that that was one of the better Super Bowl games I have watched in a long time. It was a nail bitter until the end, don’t you agree, even without the fancy commercials? The men’s bonspiel also wrapped up with some good game at the end. These are the results of last week’s activities:

The winners were as follows: First in the A event was Justin Jones’s team from Byemoor. They beat out Justin Wolf’s team, so they took home second place. The third in the A event went to Ian Michie’s team and John Schofer took the fourth. In the B event, Kent Holowath won first bumping Rob Davidson into the second place. Brooks Watts took third and Tim Primrose’s team took fourth. In the C event, Jim Krywcum’s team won first, placing Darcy MacDonald’s team into the second spot. Tracey Nelson won the third position with Garrett Holowaths team cleaning up the fourth and final spot of this bonspiel.

The Ag Society would like to thank all 17 teams for their efforts to attend and participate in our men’s bonspiel this year and hope to see everyone return next year or better yet, reconfigure a little, bring in some women and sign up for the mixed doubles or mixed bonspiel later on next month.

On Thursday of this week, the high school curling teams from Morrin will be challenging the teams from Oyen and Youngstown in district competition at the Rumsey Curling Rink. The first rock will be thrown at 10 a.m. and play will continue all day. The teams from Morrin that will be competing will be: ladies Katy Primrose, Amy Adams, Shelby Primrose and Jessica Wolf. The men’s team includes Garrett Holowath, Dan McNaughton, Brett Holowath, Brayden Davidson. The mixed team will include Evan Hampton, Cailten Wolf, Lowell Nelson and Jordan Ferguson. Whoever wins at this bonspiel will go onto zones in Airdrie on Feb. 25 and 26. Good luck to our local kids as they step onto the ice.

On Tuesday, Feb. 10, the Rumsey/Rowley 4-H Beef club will be presenting their public speaking at the Rumsey Hall starting at 6:30 p.m. If you would like to see what the young people of our community have been up to, this is an excellent showcase of our youth so don’t miss out.

The women’s bonspiel will be starting on Feb. 11 and run until Feb. 14. If you would like to get a team in, contact Brooks and Jackie Watts at 403-368-2357. Keep in mind that there is always fresh homemade soup on the stove, pies on the counter, steak or a hamburger on the grill and action on the ice. The ag society will be putting on their Thursday night Oyster night as well, so don’t forget to go into that. The banquet will take place on Saturday evening from 5 to 7 and is open to the general public, so come in and enjoy a good meal then as well.

My joke for the week is short and sweet, so enjoy: The teacher asked her student; “Who gave you that black eye?” The student replied, “No one gave it to me, sir, I had to fight for it!”
