Try your hand at curling this year at WinterFest

BY ANNA DE LA CRUZ

Want to try your hand at an Olympic sport? Good news for WinterFest attendees as they can do just that with a curling demonstration by the Charlotte Curling Association.

Founded during the 2010 Winter Olympic season, the Charlotte Curling Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping the sport flourishing and fun for everyone. Based in the greater Charlotte area, The CCA has over 150 junior, adult, and senior members with experience ranging from zero to 50+ years of curling experience. The CCA also hosts many bonspiels-curling tournaments- for those looking to get on the rink and throw stones.

Heading the demonstration this year is Cathy Carson, who will help onlookers learn a bit more about curling and try the icy sport for themselves. This demonstration will take place in the Blowing Rock School Gym Saturday, Jan. 28 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
