ERSKINE ENQUIRER
Ten teams entered the Erskine Family Fun Bonspiel this past weekend.
Besides having fun curling, there were lots of other fun games going on, dime toss, bingo, raffles, and a concession. Every family went home with a smile, and lots of prizes.
The family skate party was canceled due to the extreme cold weather. It will be rescheduled at a future date.
