The 2023 Viterra Provincial Men’s Curling Championship got underway with the preliminaries on Wednesday morning in Neepawa.

On Tuesday, teams prac- ticed, enjoyed a banquet and saw the return of a rural tradition - a championship Calcutta. Total sale proceeds for the 32 teams, in pairs, was over $32,000. The top seller, at $5,600, was #1 seed Matt Dunstone (paired with first round opponent Tuffy Seguin -

Burntwood).

Auctioneer Tyler Slawinsky auctioned off the 32 teams in the 2023 Viterra Championship on Tuesday evening at Neepawa’s Yellowhead Centre. A huge crowd attended with teams and curling fans gathering from across the province.
