This is literally an Event inside the Calgary Dance Stampede and it all happens on Sunday night after the dancing wraps up and the event closes down. We tear up the floors and take everyone curling!  

Yup that's right ... CURLING!

Wikipedia describes Curling as:

"A team sport with similarities to bowling and shuffleboard, played by two teams of four players each on a rectangular sheet of carefully prepared ice. Teams take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones down the ice towards the target (called the house). Two sweepers with brooms accompany each rock and use timing, equipment and their best judgment, along with direction from their teammates, to help direct the stones to their resting place."

We call it ... One heck of a lot of fun!

Dr. Neville Headley, DDS, CD, B.Sc., has been our generous supporter of the "Neville Cup - Curling Classic" for over 17 years.
