A big thank you to all of the participants in the bonspiel – there were 24 teams. The visiting teams had to face a stiff winter storm to get back home. It takes many people and groups to make the Bonspiel successful – thanks to: The sponsors who allowed us to make the event so exciting; The volunteers who helped with registration, handling the Random Prizes, BBQed the steaks in freezing wind, and those who helped with the coffee and special events; The Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre and staff Pat Harron and her ladies for another great meal; The local media who helped us through out the season to keep people updated of all standings and publicized events ; And a special thanks to Jim Hoffmann for his hard work and enthusiasm. It takes a lot of people to make the Season Curling and the Bonspiel successful. See you in the fall.
